THE LABOUR DAY WEEKEND
Is the last official long weekend of the summer. When the children were younger, I used to use it as a mark to clean the house and do the windows- I took the word labour literally! Now I spread out the Fall cleaning to one area at a time over several months! It is a time to organize for the Fall. However, planning some fun events is okay too. Before the pace becomes hectic again it is a great weekend to enjoy! At the Canadian National Exhibition there is always the Labour Day Parade with the various unions marching to demonstrate the Labour movement in this country. It does seem somewhat passe! The labour laws and the protection of working people is so ingrained in our culture now.The origninal battles for rights brought us to where we are today! If you want, you can hire a lawyer! Are you planning any laborious activities? Will you be enjoying the good weather?

No hard work is planned for 43 Carbutt this weekend. I might pull a few weeds but that's about it. Saturday morning will find us at the Farmer's Market. We're off on Sunday evening for the Josh Grobin concert, something we planned for about 3-4 months ago. Monday? Who knows? Have a good weekend, Barb!
