Labor Day???

I'm trying to remember what Labor Day is all about. Is Labor Day the day we shouldn't labor or the day set aside just for labor.

For me I think I get the day off so I can labor over everything I can't get done during the week. My first thought in having a 3 day weekend was to go camping and fishing. Then I had a second thought. Camping would make the weekend go by too fast. So I decided to stay home and accomplish things I have put off for some time.

For the first time since I bought this house I actually got the garage clean enough to pull a vehicle in it. I got a bunch of fire wood cut, loaded and brought home. I also got veggies canned this morning and early afternoon. I didn't however get my washing machine installed. Nor did I get my dish washer installed. All in all I got some things accomplished and that pleases me.

Now I think I will figure out why we celebrate Labor Day.
