Labor Day is an American federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday in 1887. By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day. Now All U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the territories have made it a statutory holiday. The holiday is often regarded as a day of rest and parties.

My daughter posted on Facebook yesterday that she took her daughter Aryn, to practice driving! She will be 15 in March and can get her learners permit and my daughter took her to the huge parking lot at her school to practice. No traffic, no other cars, so a safe place! Goodness how time flies......seems this girl was just born yesterday.
No plans for today. May visit some friends and take them to lunch later today. Enjoy your holiday and be safe if you are traveling.
Good evening, Linda! I am so happy to hear your ear is better today! Hooray! We felt the same way you do, when Tristan started to drive. He will be 16 next month, and will be able to get his license. Time surely does go fast! Hope you were able to enjoy lunch with friends today! Would love to have been one of them!! Rest well!
