PONDERINGS ON LABOR DAY SEPTEMBER 7, 2015

 What is Labor Day? Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September which honors the American labor movement and the worker's contributions to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country. It is also Canada's Labor Day.
Labor Day means time for barbeque and other summer activities since it signifies  the end of summer and the start of a new school year. Sayonara summer......see ya next year! 
It is time to relax and enjoy. What relax and enjoy? How could you enjoy when you have an uninvited guest on your fireplace and does not want to leave? That is right! Mr. or Mrs. Raccoon had been with us for a few days now, and no amount of incentive ( food and water inside a trap on the rooftop) can get him out of our fireplace! Wow! Is the raccoon on hunger stike???? Or is the raccoon also observing the holiday and is just resting for a few days? LOL.
If the raccoon does not come out tomorrow, the trappers will have to come up with plan B. We did not even think that there are raccoons in the city! We did not even realized how expensive it is to have a raccoon as a house guest! Did you know that  you cannot release a raccoon less than 10 miles from where he was captured for fear that he/she can come back to the same place? We certainly are learning a few things about out raccoon friend.....and wished he/she did not come to us to lose some money. He/she was not cheap!  Oh, well. Did you guys know that, or had you ever had a problem with raccoons or squirrel setting up house in your fireplace? I cannot believe it...the raccoon has not been out since Friday! What is he/ she waiting for? Christmas???? 
To top it all, our car died on us!  It was smoking and we have to wait until tomorrow to see what the problem was. Well, at least the car did not die on us on the freeway or the street, but on our driveway. Thank God! Boooo...hooo.... do you need some tissues now to cry your heart out??? Sheesh....I know, it is not the end of the world...tomorrow will be a better day. Tomorrow...tomorrow.....should I sing now??? Hehehe....crazy.....

Well, that's it folks.....have a great, safe and blessed day!  May God bless all of us!!
