This has been haunting me all week...
Darling daughter Meredith was hanging out for a long weekend with the blood family while Big Willie was embroiled in the opening of dove season in the Delta. We (me, wifey and Meredith) got a cordial invite to join some friends at Chez Mullins for a pre-Labor Day rib fest.
Not sure if you people know this but Larry Mullins' ribs make Dreamland's suck by comparison. Simply amazing grillmaster - but I digress...
We enjoyed some chat and adult beverages whilst the meat was being prepared. Upon the appropriate signal, we all gathered in the kitchen to stack our plates and wear out some hot ribs. Janet asked that we return thanks - always correct in my book.
She offered up a nice blessing of the food and then asked that God help us all to "remember the true meaning of Labor Day."
What exactly is that and why don't I know about it????

I actually got this from my sister Malinda in VA...
Labor Day, per Columbia Encyclopedia, is a holiday celebrated in the US and Canada
on the first Monday in September to honor the laborer. It was inaugurated by the Knights of Columbus in 1882 and made a national holiday in 1894.
Since you are one of the men and women of America that role up your sleeves and sweat everyday I thought you should know Labor Day is in your honor.
I learned this in the one room schoolhouse I had to walk a mile uphill to everyday.
