the hundreds of pigeons, the ducks, and geese....
Tap Rock restaurant across the river....
These two pigeons were feeding each other and then they started doing the

This came from PattyK... funny!
A little boy was at a cemetery with his mother, "Mommy", the boy asked, "Do
they ever bury two people in the same grave?"
"Of course not, dear." replied the mother. "Why would you think
that?"
"The tombstone back there said, 'Here lies a lawyer and an honest
man.'

September 1st
Dedicated
in honor of the worker, it is also appropriately called the "workingman's
holiday". The holiday is dedicated to you in respect and appreciation for the
work you do in or outside of the home, union or non-union, big company, small
companies, or government. As long as you work somewhere at something, this
holiday is for you!
The
first Labor Day was held celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882 and
was started by the Central Labor Union in New York City. In 1884, it was moved
to the first Monday in September where it is celebrated today. Labor Day quickly
became popular and one state after another voted it as a holiday. On June 28,
1894, the U.S. congress voted it a national holiday.
Labor
Day is also viewed as the official end of summer. While the Fall Equinox is
still a couple of weeks away, kids go back to school and summer vacations are
over.
Labor
Day tradition: This day is
celebrated with a day off and union sponsored parades. Many people celebrate
this weekend with one last picnic. It is also the date that many people close up
the pool, and put away the boats.
Was
it McGuire or Maguire? Either Peter
McGuire or Matthew Maguire is the Creator of Labor Day. Peter J. McGuire, was an
active labor organizer. He was also general secretary of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor. He
was believed to be the first to suggest a day be dedicated to American workers
and their accomplishments. Matthew Maguire however, was secretary of the Central
Labor Union in New York in 1882 and many believed that he proposed the holiday
in
1882.
