We remember a lot of laughs, lot of smiles, lot of stories, serious discussions all over good food (at home and outside) and drinks.  That summed up our Labour Day Weekend.

What a week it has been. It flew and yet I can remember each hour that passed through. My uncle & aunt, aunt's brother & sis-in-law and their son (three whom we met for the first time) stayed with us for three nights and left early, really early this morning.
