Air Conditioning

That's why Mom and Dad don't take the air conditioners out until October first.
There is almost always a heat wave the last week in September.

I love sunbeams.

Missing Super Cutie

Sigh

Super Cutie Goes Home

Supercutie and her parents are going home today. Mom will miss them. She was enjoying being Auntie!

Walkies

Juliet is walking much better lately. Mom doesn't have to drag her half way through the walk only to be dragged home. Juliet is still afraid of garbage toters and SUV's, but she enjoys walking with Mom and when they go out they usually walk 1-1/2 miles.

Juliet always sleeps well after a walk. So does Mom. 

lol

Tattle Tale Tuesday

Mom is cleaning her desk. It is a mess. Seriously, but she won't let me take a photo.

So you have me instead of Mom's desk.

Hopefully she'll let me take a photo when it's clean, but I doubt it.

Supervising

Mom and Dad were laying sod down this weekend. Juliet and I were supervising. 

Juliet seems pleased with their work.

Labor Day

Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, different groups of trade unionists chose a variety of days on which to celebrate labor. In the United States a September holiday called Labor Day was first proposed in the 1880s. An early history of the holiday dates the event's origins to a General Assembly of the Knights of Labor convened in New York City in September 1882.^[2] In conjunction with this clandestine Knights assembly a public parade of various labor organizations was held on September 5 under the auspices of the Central Labor Union (CLU) of New York.^[2] Secretary of the CLU Matthew Maguire is credited for first proposing that a national Labor Day holiday subsequently be held on the first Monday of each September in the aftermath of this successful public demonstration.^[3]

An alternative thesis is maintained that Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor put forward the first proposal in May 1882,^[1] after witnessing the annual labour festival held in Toronto, Canada.^[4]

There was disagreement among labor unions at this time about when a holiday celebrating workers should be. Many advocated for May 1st. However, President Cleveland was concerned that a labor holiday on May 1st would be a commemoration of the Haymarket Affair of May 1886,^[5] as it eventually was under the name International Workers' Day.^[6][7] In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday.^{[5][better source needed]}

In 1887 Oregon became the first state of the United States to make Labor Day an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty U.S. states officially celebrated Labor Day.^[1]

Following the deaths of workers at the hands of United States Army and United States Marshals Service during the Pullman Strike of 1894 in Chicago, the United States Congress unanimously voted to approve legislation to make Labor Day a national holiday and President Grover Cleveland signed it into law six days after the end of the strike.^[8] Cleveland supported the creation of the national holiday in an attempt to shore up support among trade unions following the Pullman Strike.^[9] The date of May 1 (an ancient European holiday known as May Day) was an alternative date, celebrated then (and now) as International Workers' Day, but President Cleveland was concerned that observance of Labor Day on May 1 would encourage Haymarket-style protests and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that, though distinct from one another, had rallied to commemorate the Haymarket Affair on International Workers' Day.^[9][10]

All U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the United States territories have made Labor Day a statutory holiday.

Easy Like Sunday Morning
