Kamál (Perfection), 8 Asmá’ (Names), 169 BE – Monday, August

Labor Day, observed the first Monday in September, falls on
September 3 this year. Labor Day is a Federal Holiday and there will be no
postal delivery. In addition, the banks, Federal, and state offices are closed.
Labor Day celebrates the contributions of workers.
I am trying to remember how we celebrated Labor Day when I
was a child. I know we didn’t go to school that day. I think my mother worked
because she was a food server and the restaurant where she worked remained
open. I don’t think my grandfather worked that day, so I suppose we stayed at
my grandparents house.
The weather in Oklahoma
was warm and summery on Labor Day. I believe Grandpa took us to the Lake on Friday every after school let out or on Saturday
morning. At the Lake , we swim, fished, water
skied, and played. Grandpa had a garden, so we also worked in the garden.
On Labor Day, the daycare center Mom attends is closed.
Since Mom is home all day, I have to figure out what to fix for our breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. I also need to find something to keep Mom busy and her mind
occupied. I’ll figure out something between now and then.
