ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2021
The moments our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Today is Labot Day which celebrates the contributions to American workers have made to the strengthh , prosperity and well being of our country.
In 1882 New York City held the first workingmen’s holiday, complete with a parade of 10,000 workers. Over the next few years, Labor Day celebrations spread across the country. In 1894, Congress passed an act that made Labor Day an official holiday.
Today many Americans view Labor Day as the unofficial end to summer. Celebrate with cookouts, small backyard gatherings, or a weekend spent with family. Happy Labor Day!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Hord work spotlights the character of people; some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.

This has been a wonderful holiday weekend for me and I’ve not done a bit of work. All I’ve done is relax and rest. I taken a nap every afternoon and read two books.
Everyone needs some time off from work just to sit back and enjoy life. After all what are we working for but to be able to enjoy life.
This is like a reward for all the days we spend working and trying to earn our keep. Of course I’m retired now and never do much work at all. But I did once work for many years and the nice thing is that it allowed me to retire.
I planned a meal for today when I made up the menu last week, but I’m not sure if I’ll get around to it or just snack on what’s available in the fridge. I’m so lazy.
But for today the menu is:
Basil Burgers with Sun Dried Tomato Mayonnaise
Makes 6 servings
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
1 cup boiling water
1 cup mayonaiase
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
6 hsmburger buns, split
In a small bowl com`bine tomatoes and woter. Let stand 5 minutes, drain and in a food processor, combine mayo and tomatoes. Cover and process until blended. Chill until serving
In a large bow, combine the Worcestershire sauce, basil Italian seasoning, garlic and salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shaper into 12 thin patties.. Place 2 tbsp. cheese on the six patties top with remaining patties and press edges firmly to seal.
On a greased grill, cook burgers covered over medium heat or brow 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees and juices run clear. Serve on buns with mayonnaise mixture if desired, sprinkle with additional basil.
I’ll be enjoying mine with some leftover potato salad and coleslaw on the side.
What ever you today try to take time off from work. It’s a special day off.
The picture today are of some of my family enjoying the long weekend in the past.
I hope you all have GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!

Relax and enjoy a day off from work.
It was storming too hard to do any grilling today, but I still enjoyed a big bowl of loose meat (burger). Told Tom, having a 'near-death experience' (lightning all about) made me super HUNGRY. LOL. Your sun dried tomato mayo sounds delicious!
Thanks for sharing the history of the first Labor Day, it was interesting. Glad you enjoyed your week-end and are able to rest. Two books......good for you!
