Labor day is the day that my mother past away 4 yrs ago!! The official day is Sept. 7th, but the day she died was Labor Day! So I thought about her a lot today and talked a little with Dad about her. I miss her.....but every time I sing a song to Charlotte that my Mom use to play the piano and sing with me as a little girl I think about her and it makes me smile, her legacy continues on.....
Today was my step brother Chris' 30th birthday!! So we had a family party today at his home, because he has a pool and a nice grill to grill on and big rooms to have us all over!! And after all you only turn 30 once!! Even though it rained all morning there were some who swam anyway....silly kids!! It's always nice getting together with family!

Then, because Charlotte is "quarantined" and really the only people who can be around her are her parents and us, because we've already been around her so much before she got sick and have gotten the preventative treatment.....so it's either go to their home or have them come to ours but they don't go anywhere else for awhile....until the cough is gone. They came over after John's football practices for work that morning and we grilled too! We made turkey burgers, and for the first time grilled corn on the cob.....it was really good! We used lettuce to wrap our turkey burgers in instead of buns since we are all counting calories, had watermelon, and all the fun fixin's for burgers...pickles, cheese, tomatoes etc... And because we had time we played a few more games of cards! We are loving the game room!
It was a great Holiday!!
