quick good morning Eleanor! and happy Labor Day Weekend to everyone!
I went to HS football game last night & it was a bit coolish(VERY HOT LAST WEEK”S GAME) & fall like. We won the game & the band (BIG swing marching band..350 members) was as usual outstanding
I have passed on a couple picnic/BBQ outings for Monday as I have a lot of things to do on home front that are more impt at this point then that sort of thing
Have the last outdoor concert of season Sunday & afterward a party at a local prep school welcoming new faculty & starting the year.
Here is link to Labor Day thread I did a couple years ago.. some info on history of the holiday etc.

It was right after Katrina hit the Gulf coast & the pledge is a large flag that was rescued from the rubble.
Well, need to mow, do a SLEW of picture editing, do a TON of cleaning & begin working on a new webpage for an organization - those projects will carry over into Monday
Jeez, I’m late getting on to this *come to think of it, I didn’t get in on last weeks thread either...d’oh!*
ANYway, I took off Friday for a drive up to Pleasanton, CA to catch on Saturday the 142nd Caledonian Society of San Francisco’s Highland Games and Gathering http://www.caledonian.org/games/gamesmain.html , which I took a pass on last year.
I’d been going for almost 9 years at that point.
I had the best time, ever, since attending. It was purely sublime, although HOT...which is not unusual for the time of year (cooler than Fresno, however, due to breezes and lower humidity) I met some folks who are involved in Clan Stewart, whom I joined back in May, and was also able to catch up with a buddy from Modesto, enjoyed a cigar while going walkabout with him, and after leaving, had a nice dinner, and took in a movie *Balls of Fury...oh yeah, stupid fun!*
Today I drove to the Bay Area *Sunnyvale, in particular* and caught up with another friend, spending 3 hours together, enjoying conversation and seeing the new apt. complex she’s moving into, and her handiwork at getting her invalid mother’s house cleaned up in order to sell.
I then hit the road to come back home...a 3 hour drive (snugs, have you heard the phrase “200 years, or 200 miles”? I drove a little over double that times that in 2 days).
Tomorrow, catching up on “domestics” aka laundry, and whatever else catches my fancy
