Labor Day

This morning, Tom is doing one of the things he does best. He is smoking meat for company this evening. Friends are coming over and we are gonna "pig out" on Tom's finest. We love entertaining on days like today. It makes the day so special and it gives Tom a chance to try out new ideas for bbq.

We went to the glow last night, but the balloons did not inflate due to weather conditions. When we went to get Pookie, he was totally confused and in his pajamas already. He thought it was the middle of the night and it was only 6:30pm. He was angry because he thought we were late picking him up and he had been waiting for a long time. We were actually 15 minutes early from the time we had set. Some days are like that and we will try again.

Carol and I went for our jog/walk this morning. We could see the final lift off of the balloons in the distance. For me, the Balloon Classic marks the end of summer. Now we have to start thinking about the holidays and winterizing the lawn. The girls got a Halloween catalogue yesterday, in the mail and if you go to the grocery, there is candy and decorations up already. I am saddened to see the carefree days of Summer go, but I love the fall and the cool weather.
