Labor Day

To celebrate Labor Day, per tradition, we went up with the family to chop a load of firewood for the coming winter.  No pictures, as I forgot my camera this year.  We had a great day, though a smidge longer with an extra truck to load.  Thomas sold the F-150 to his sister this summer, and Andres is now driving it.  We filled the little Ranger, plus the little red trailer.  We skipped out on the Sunday wood run, since I was singing, but it's often the only day we get to sleep in, too! 

On Monday, I proceeded to get SUNBURNED!  Put away your summer whites at Labor Day, but leave out the sunscreen!  We worked on finishing up the siding on the west side of the house.  Starting in the morning we got so much done, and it was shaded.  After lunch though, the sun was oppressive.  At least I had a hat on!

And if wood getting wasn't enough, we enjoyed more family time with a bonfire at Daniel and Julie's - smores and all - on Saturday and then a bbq on Monday at Mom and Pop's.  Labor Day rocks!
