This is a holiday for those of us in the states! It celebrates the American Worker.
So happy Labor Day to us!

We celebrate with the Greeks....

The largest Greek Orthodox Church in the area has a Festival that Runs Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
More great Greek food than you could want and all the "PASTRIES", Tours of the Church, Dancing by the Greek parishioners from tots to great- grandmas.

We just got home, I'm stuffed, have some Baklava still to eat but before that it is 'nap time'!

Hope everyone had as much fun and food as I did....

I never really wanted to grow up....All I wanted was to be able to reach the cookie jar...and play with my DW 788

Well I spent the whole day in the shop. I'm making six of the Dancer Musical Mini Clocks that Steve designed on his blog dated 8/01/2010. These will be for the woodworking club's annual toy drive in December. I'll post pictures when they are completed.
