Labor Day is almost here!
I asked google what was the significance of Labor Day because I have been observing Labor Day for many, many years without really knowing what I was commemorating. First off, it feels like an oxymoron to celebrate a holiday called Labor Day by not working….just saying.
When I looked it up, it made sense:
Labor Day: The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
Okay, great! A day off from work! Yay! But…. I am self-employed with a job that very rarely requires me to work on a Monday. So pretty much a regular day for me, except I can’t go to the bank or post office.
I will tell Jim (my dear husband) that he should expect to rest on Monday. Only one problem – Jim rarely rests. Right now he is on the roof (he decided to re-roof our house) so maybe I will tell him when he comes down from the roof. Maybe I should hide his “list of things to do” or come up with some creative reason he should take the day off.
Or maybe I will just let him work. Jim is happier when he is working, so if he is working he will have a happy Labor Day. As for me, I love to live in a nice house that doesn’t leak….that gives ME a happy labor day.
Whatever YOU choose to do (or NOT do)…….. Jim and I wish you a wonderful and HAPPY LABOR DAY!
You guys amaze me! So hard to stereotype! It seems every time I read something from you, its about work. You both need to take a break. Or you can be like me and try to cram your leisure time into your final years.
Sending love and Hugs,
Don
HI Don, you are a hard worker yourself, I can’t picture you enjoying “leisure time”. I love that you volunteer so much of your time helping children in all of the charities you work with. All the best (hope there was a garden this year)

I was happy to hear from you. All the best my friends and Jim don’t work so hard. May
Hi May! We are trying to not work so hard but the work just keeps coming!! Also Jim just does not seem to know how to take it easy! Lol, He will have to keep singing in order to rest!
Hi Anne, I want to let you know. how much I love your John Denver Tributes. I was at your first symphony show in Kansas City and I also was at the show at Red Rocks. I would like to know if you approach the venue to get bookings or do the venues approach you to book. I would really love to see you back in the Kansas City area again. Or maybe some area within reasonable driving distance from Kansas City. It would be a major coo if you could get Red Rocks again. Anyway, I would love to see your program again. I hope you can book a venue in the area.
A true JD fan.

Hi Cathy, basically the venue chooses the act and they don’t appreciate getting calls from people who want to perform there – but I will write to your email and maybe you can give me some suggestions of venues we can try to talk to. Look for my email this week and THANK YOU for attending our shows!
Wow, playing music sure keeps a guy in shape ! Congrats on the new roof.
Yay !! You’re coming back to Wisconsin in the spring ❤ Got my tickets already, see you there
Yay! Can’t wait to see you in Manitowoc!
