Labor Day

Labor Day, according to Wikipedia a Federal Holiday now mainly celebrated as the end of summer. Though typically no one wants summer to end, this summer’s wretchedness has many applauding its passing. Here’s to hoping the autumn air blows off the stink of the summer of 2011.

I’ll be traveling a bit this fall for my new job. I’ll be around as often as I can.

    • Good journey is much nicer and thank you. There will be many good journeys, and many I will come out of with a greater appreciation for my home.

  4. I won Fishing tournament, LD was pretty great. The rest of the summer sucked some but it’s been worse.

    I think you are lucky you may be able to hit Cape Town.

  7. I like Labor day for the coming of autumn, but being in Southern California I don’t expect the real autumn to happen. I’ll miss it.

  8. I love Jacob’s explanation of his explanation.

    And love this song

    I wonder if they used to harmonize all the time when they were kids? And if their parents sang so wonderfully also? Can imagine their whole family on a road trip singing. I actually used to wonder about that when I was a teenager

    Have fun in your new job. Learn a lot, be productive and enjoy the challenge!

    They sing that song beautifully together.

  10. All the best with your new job, Miss Cooper.

    May it lead to an early retirement so that you can live the dream of blogging every day.

    Wait, that is the dream, isn’t it? :)

    Wishing you safe travels always.
