  Labour Day is in Oct for me
  
  I will spend the day fishing for salmon and brown trout, wrestle with vicious bears and basically be one with nature in the wilderness

  In the US, Labor Day is observed on the first Monday of every September.
  
  Here's some information about the history of Labor Day, if you're interested in learning more about it.

  I said that I wouldn't work on the house on Labor Day but... I did. What started it all was us finding some tile on sale at Lowe's. One thing lead to another and boom! We found ourselves back at the house. We didn't leave until 6 hours later!
  One interesting thing did happen though. While waiting for our order at the Jack in the Box, there was a gas leak and a small fire in the back of the building.

  It's fully understandable that you'd want to get your new house all fixed up as soon as possible. It is, after all, your new pride and joy! There'll be plenty of other opportunities for future home improvement projects, now that you're actually owning your home rather than renting it.
  
  Did the staff at the JitB evacuate the building on account of the fire?

  Labour Day spent housecleaning.
  
  Is it a day to do labour or a day to rest?

  Yah they did and you know what? Some people actually complained! Alamak, which is better? Your safety or not getting your food? People!
  
  MG, my pocket is bleeding big time.

  Kum siah, kum siah. It was a good visit. We ate, karaoke, dance, shopping, gai gai, drama watch and even do a day trip to Niagara Falls.
  
  Since her son is in Indiana, she will make frequent trips to this part of the world now.
  
  And how are you? Fill me in.
