Happy Friday afternoon on this beginning of the Labor Day weekend. Ms. Kate and I did a bunch of running around today. We were trying to get ahead of the Labor Day crowd. Ms, Kate wanted to get the graves decorated before the weekend so we gathered together our flowers and went to the cemeteries. We spent a little time decorating her grandparents, her mom and dad's and aunt and uncle's headstones. Then we headed out to Zoar Church and decorated my parents headstone. Now they look great for fall with fresh flowers and fall colors.

Next we took a country drive and headed up to Haubstadt for a trip to Dewig's Meat Market. They are a great business and are also personal friends of ours. We have watched them go through several renovations over the years and really have built a corporation. They win meat cutting and sausage making awards all over the world including Germany, the home of sausage. LOL

While we were there we picked up some of their meat spread and some spinach dip, and bread and chips and headed up to St. Paul's church. We ate a "picnic" lunch there in the recreation hall of the church and then did a little work. From there we headed back home and took a delicious nap out in the sun porch. The weather today is absolutely perfect so we have opened up the house and let the breeze flow through. I was actually awakened by the sound of a couple of Cardinals fussing at one another right outside the door. What a great way to wake up from a nap. 

Tomorrow is supposed to be a repeat of today weather wise. I'll probably mow the lawn and go pick up some sunflower seed so I can fill all of the feeders before we take off on our vacation. 

By now, it is almost 2200 hours and time to get off of the computer. Peace my friends.
