Today was a most un-laborious labor day, spent just hanging out with my extended family for a regular get-together. Lots of eating - hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, several salads, chips, and key lime pie, ice cream of different flavors, and pound cake. We talked about school, vacations, as well as the mundane things that happened in each of our lives over this Summer. The kids played, running about here and there, playing kickball, throwing footballs, and even some short-lived swimming. And then it was over. And we came home.
Kind of a funny thing, calling it Labor Day. Meant to be a celebration for the labor movement, it has really come to mean an end to Summer vacation. And today is just that. It's a mere few hours of "freedom" left before the new school year begins for our family. Though Labor Day means taking a break, tomorrow will be the true start of labor.
Well, here's to the end of a most non-Laborious Day!
