It truly was Labor Day!

What do you mean it's a day off - a day off of WHAT?!! Acutally, both Dave and I did sleep in. We didn't get out of bed until after 8:30 - usually we're both at work by that time. This was a weekend of accomplishments in many ways. We started off with the usual "to do"list, and of course - it seemed to grow as we thought of things we'd like to finish. Let's go back a bit. Krysta and Todd got a new car, and came by to show us on Thursday. We've been thinking about getting something different than the van what with gas prices what they are, etc. While Krysta was here she pulled out her camera and took several pictures of our van and later posted it on KSL.com. By the end of that evening she'd had an interested inquiry. Holy smokes! We'd better get the darn thing cleaned!! So, Friday night Missy and I (Brie helped some too) thoroughly cleaned it because the guy had said he might stop over. Well, you guessed it - he was a no-show all weekend, but - we do have a REALLY clean van now!
We've been working real hard on Dave's brother Dan's bookwork/tax entries for the year 2007. Every check written for all 6 stores needed to be entered into QuickBooks and sent off to Dan's CPA (which was a brother-in-law). Our goal was to have it completely done by Labor Day, and we finished the last store Sunday evening - goal accomplished!
Most of Monday was spent working in the garage. We'd been accumulating food storage from the cannery and it had been sitting in the garage most of the summer. Awhile ago Dave and Brian built a platform in the crawl space so if we had a leak or something, the water wouldn't affect the food stoarge. Monday they hauled it all to the garage and organized it in the crawl space. Then, we spent the next couple of hours organizing the shelves and cleaning the garage. Wow, we can actually park in there again. For some reason it had become a storage for all kinds of different things, but it looks great now. And, it's such a good feeling to have another project crossed off our list.
To finish the day off, we had a barbeque with Krysta & Todd and Missy & Jeff and their families. With the way the temperature was it sure felt like fall is in the air! A dusting of snow on the top of Timp sort of solidifies that thought!!
