The 247th day of 2017 was Labor Day 2017. And, we did not do much labor on 9/4/17. No, once again, we were in attendance at a wonderful Labor Day BBQ with, as with yesterday, family, food, fellowship, and just good conversation. And as our minds turn towards the work week to come, my thoughts turn to those who came before us and fought for workers' rights. The reasons we are celebrating Labor Day. One of these people was my grandfather. And, stealing this picture from my mom's page, I am inspired to remember the struggle and protest of my grandfather and his postal worker brothers (and sisters?? not sure if women were involved in the 30s) and inspired to remember that the "good life" we have these days is likely a direct result of their hard work. I hope you all had a restful unofficial last weekend of Summer, but also hope you can join me in being inspired to remember and revere these men and women.
