No "Laboring" on Labor Day

I am considering not going on any more vacations or family visits or fun trips.

It takes way too long for my brain and body to recover.
To get back into the mode of being "in charge" and responsible and aware of what needs to be done.

I am kidding about the not taking any more vacations and trips part... I am NOT kidding about needing a brain and body boost.

The boy and I spent Labor Day weekend at my parents' house. With my brother and my sis-in-law and my nephew. Baba and Papa had both their cutie patootie grandsons there for the weekend.



If you know anything at all about my family... you know there was a certain event that made the trip home absolutely necessary.

The opening of Dove Season.

Bring on the firearms.




Me? I went shopping.

There's even an annual dove shoot and cook-out held partly in memory of my grand-pa... the boy's great-grandfather.... the one responsible for this hunting gene. The boy and my dad went.


My mom and I went later to enjoy the food and the scenery.


I think I ate BBQ a total of 437,826 times this weekend. I found a few good sales. And I did not "labor" one bit. Good times.

LUCKY! Would love to have eaten that much BBQ :)

My husband and son didn't dove hunt this year. The doves gave a sigh of relief.
