Warm Summer Afternoons in Las Vegas

Afternoons have been nice lately. Sometimes we have clouds and sometimes it's clear. This afternoon it was warm not hot. This morning I did a load of laundry and hung them out. I didn't get the cloths in until mid afternoon. Usually the weather is hot, but this afternoon it was warm.

I'm looking forward to Labor Day, I'm not sure why because I won't take it off. Holiday or not I still have laundry to wash and floors to mop. I still have stories and poems to write and submit. I'll probably take of September 13, Grandparents' Day. Mom and I haven't been out in a long time. My mother is a Great Grandmother, so I think we'll go somewhere and have ice creams to celebrate.

September Holidays and Days to Remember

The first Monday in September is Labor Day, which falls on the September 7 this year. The first Sunday after Labor Day is National Grandparents' Day (September 13). Patriot Day, World Trade Center Remembrance Day, is on Friday, September 11.

If you Google "September Holidays" you will find that every day in September celebrates or commemorates something. One of the more intriguing holidays in September falls on the 16th, this is Collect Rocks Day. A writer doesn't have to worry about writers' block or blog block in September because of all the interesting days that fall in that month.

Celebrate Grandparents’ Day

National Grandparents' Day is the first Sunday after Labor Day. This year it falls on September 13. I think I'll write a poem about my grandparents. I'm not sure that a single poem will be enough to celebrate Grandparents' Day because I have memories of three Grandparents. I remember Grandma and Grandpa Newland and Grandma Darbe.

Grandma and Grandpa
I always knew they loved me
they were always there.

First Sunday after
Labor Day we remember
Grandma and Grandpa.
