I Love a Parade!

How will you celebrate the upcoming Labor Day Holiday?

If Labor Day feels like a comma in the year and not a semicolon — like Thanksgiving or Christmas — it’s probably all to the good. We need a holiday that needs no preparation, which is a true holiday indeed.

I love a parade!  Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones whose home town still has a Labor Day parade – if so, enjoy!

And yes,  I’m getting a bit ahead of the holiday with this post but that’s because PattiAnn and I are both taking my earlier admonition to “savor the simple pleasures of summer” very seriously… we’ve planned a week long time-out from our BouncebackCafe.com “labors”.  We’ll be back with new opinions right after Labor Day.   And in the meantime we’ll be sending some oldie-but-goodies your way – we hope you’ll enjoy them.

The person who doesn’t relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.

— Elbert Hubbard

Wishing you a relaxing and enjoyable Labor Day… take some time out to savor these last few days of summer.

Take a short break and consider the following:
