Labor Day

For many folks, today is the last big fling of summer, the last bar-b-que, big sales at the mall, etc. For me this year, it was a day of labor. Since we are leaving Wednesday after work for Oklahoma and Lonnie's family reunion, and tomorrow I have three appointments and our small group meeting, I had today and today only to get ready for the trip. That of course included laundry, packing, paying bills, cleaning up the house (mostly picking up!), and loading the car. Yes we are driving a friend's car to Oklahoma and then flying back on Sunday evening. While I am at it, I am having Lonnie help me move some furniture which has been sitting in the hall for much too long--I figure, I'm laboring, he might as well too!! My real Labor Day vacation will be next weekend, sitting on the deck of the lodge overlooking the lake, sipping cool drinks, and reconnecting with family--with no real responsibilities. Can't wait!!
