Sept 1st. is Labor Day, so I looked up... here is what I found! History of Labor Day Throughout the history of Labor Day, which is an American National holiday, it takes place the first Monday of September. Some call it is the unofficial end to summer. Labor Day's true meaning is to honor the everyday working people. The people whose sweat build and maintain the heart of United States. Today Labor Day is as normal as baseball, apple pie and fireworks on the fourth of July, but this was not always so. In 19th century America, the industrial revolution was in full bloom, and people were needed en masse to feed the machines of mass production. Millions responded, coming from the farms by the promise of the American dream, a trust in the commonwealth. The people wanted a secure year-round income in an environment sheltered from the often harsh elements. What they found was a life toiling twelve and fourteen hours a day in dingy and sometimes dangerous conditions in factories and underground mines. From the late 1700s into the mid 1800s working people increasingly joined together in trade unions that would bargain collectively for the benefit of all members. A day to praise the efforts of the everyday people was first suggested around 1880 by Peter J. McGuire, founder of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. However, the first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City by the Knights of Labor. It celebrated the working man on that date. The idea of celebrating the everyday working man began to spread with the growth of labor organizations. By 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country. This holiday is to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community. Labor day is also a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. Parades, festivals , barbeques, this became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent men and women are given to emphasis the economic and civic significance of the holiday. In the l880's labor organizations began to lobby various state legislatures for recognition of Labor Day as an official state holiday. The first states to declare it a state holiday in, 1887, were Oregon, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. In 1894, Congress passed a law recognizing Labor Day as an official national holiday. Labor Day has come to be recognized in the United States not only as a celebration of the working class, but also as the unofficial end of the summer season. In the northern half of the U.S. the summer vacation season begins with Memorial Day and ends with Labor Day.

Have a safe trip to michigan. I know you will enjoy the kids. I also agree with you. I would be inside where it's warm not out looking for deer. Our grandson that is a senior this year in high school has been looking forward to football season starting because they play the seniors a lot. There was a scrimmage game on thursday and he broke his collarbone in two places so there goes the football season for him. He has surgery on wednesday and it will take about two to three months for recovery. He swims also so he will be able to swim at least. It's not much comfort at this time but he will get used to it I guess. Nothing else he can do about it. Glad to hear that fred is doing well. Hi to all.

Speaking of Thanksgiving... We'll be in MI for that holiday with our 13 year old grandson and daughter. Taylor and Brandie, Taylor can't wait, he wants Pa (Willie) to sit in the woods with him while he hunts deer. Gramie (Me) will be inside where there is heat!!!!! No snow 4 me! I grew up in MI, and the only season I like there is fall and the beautiful colors! Have a safe trip to Texas Sue, Can't wait to see everyone. Today we have had rain off and on from the storm, it is a strange storm, the farther it gets from Tampa Bay the more rain we receive. Nothing really bad, the winds are 10mph not much. I just saw on the TV today that the Fishing Pier down at the Sky way Bridge is closing the east side, it was built back in 1954, the west side was built 17 years later. so no more RV's or Trailers will be allowed on the fishing pier only trucks and cars. bye for now

Well, he came home today. I was against it but I wasn't there when it came about. Fred didn't argue since he was so anxious to get out of there. We got his prescriptions filled so he can continue the antibiotics and coubidin. I did some shopping on the way since we had to wait on the prescriptions. I got the makings for chicken and noodles. He loves it and it should be good for him. I am very glad to be home. My friend was the ultimate hostess but there comes a time when there's no place like home. Plus we picked up Ziggi and he too is glad to be home. I really missed him. So did Fred. So, thanks for all of your support. I think he will be OK now. Later, Love, Pat

this was passed on to me from Gail she ask me to post it for Pat & Fred Zickefoose. Please let them know we are thinking of them and praying for them... Hi Friends and Family, Just a note to bring you up to date on Fred. He has been having a rough time. First they kept him in recovery for a whole day then they sent him to Trauma ICU for a day then on Wednesday evening he got his own room. The main goal is to pass gas. Should have only been a few days but it didn't come. Instead he got diarrhea and has had it for several days. Yesterday(Wed) they decided he had a diarrhea infection and started pumping antibiotics and quarantined him. Any visitors have to put on a gown and probably a face mask. I didn't go up yesterday so am not sure of all the rules. Anyway, I called him this morning and he said more diarrhea but was followed by some gas. HURRAY!!!!!!!so he had his first solid food for lunch. They are talking about moving him to the 9Th. floor which is all single rooms. Then they can scrub his bed and will have 2 beds for incoming patients. With the quarantine, no one can use the other bed in his room. One doctor even hinted that he could go home tomorrow but that's not a given. I'd like them to keep him one more day and be sure. I have been at my friends house for the duration. This is the first time I've been at Dave's to use his computer. Sorry about that. I really hope they don't find anything to operate on for awhile. Oh Yeah, They did find a LITTLE bit of cancer when they biopsied the growth, there was a tiny spot of Stage 1 cancer . I am not to worry as he is sure he got it all and stage 1 is very very not serious. I am cool with it as I am sure they got it all and with regular colonoscopies, there shouldn't be any more. Thank all of you for your interest, prayers,and support. It means a lot. Probably my next message will be from home. I declared that I wasn't going home until I could take him with me. Looks like that might actually happen. Till Then, Love, Pat
