Don't Labor....

I know, you haven't heard from me in four days. Well, I think the idea of Labor Day weekend is not to labor, and I must confess I labored some, but it was at home, in my own time, and I had equal time of relaxing. I didn't feel like being on the computer. I wanted to connect with my PA family by telephone, however, I struck out with everyone I called. No one was home! I guess they were all away. One of my friends called a little bit ago and told me that they went to the cities to visit their son, then they went to the State Fair. She said that the fair is expensive and figures they spent over $200.00! Umm...I guess that's why we don't go to the State Fair! I would have liked to visit Dawn and family in Hudson, as they were going to take their boat out on the St. Croix River, but my Bob wasn't interested in boating, (he'd rather golf) and Rob worked, and I didn't want to drive down by myself with the holiday traffic.

So...we had no plans. I went to the grocery store on Sat., otherwise I have been home all weekend. Of course, Bob golfed each day, and Rob worked this weekend, so I had the house to myself a lot of the time. It's been nice. I sat outside on the deck yesterday afternoon and read a book. We've had great weather... perfect weather...up till 3:00 this afternoon when the clouds rolled in. It's still nice, just cloudier and damper. I had planned to do extra jobs around the house that I don't have time for otherwise, and I did get some things done, such as straigtening the basement, cleaning a few corners and bringing up the fall things I decorate with. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, I didn't do any cooking or baking, which I thought I would do, and I didn't get summer clothes put away, etc. But, I did accomplish something extra that makes me feel good. I started working on a project that I've wanted to start work on for a very long time now...read my post below to see what I spent a lot of time working on this weekend:

(Well, you've already read it above... I keep thinking I have it figured how to place two different posts in the order I want them to be in, but again, it didn't work...so you've read the second one of tonight's post first)
