*Labor Day*

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September. The holiday originated in 1882 as the Central Labor Union (of New York City) sought to create "a day off for the working citizens".
Congress made Labor Day a federal holiday in 1894. All fifty states have made Labor Day a state holiday.
Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer.

I found this on the internet and thought it was interesting :)

I wish you all a Happy Labor Day...

*Spooky Nadine*

Good evening :) I just listed *Spooky Nadine* on Ebay doesn't she look spooky? She will be my last doll for a while...I will leave beginning of September for 3 weeks to visit my Mom in Germany to help her out a little bit.If time allows it, I will try to make 1 or 2 Halloween Dolls in October for Ebay...I'm not sure yet...I won't have enough time to list anything on TDIPT Mercantile in October...because the deadline for it is the 25th of September :(I had lots of fun creating her...lots of hours and love went in her...oh by the way, her batwings and bottle brush tree are removable!I hope you like her :)Until next time...

*Denmark*

Today, 10th of August, 9 years ago we had our courthouse wedding in Denmark...everything was so beautiful! We took the night train to Denmark and two days later we got married...two women, they were working at the courthouse, were our witnesses... we did not even know them!

We stayed one day longer went to the beach took some cool pictures and left in the evening...so here we were newly Wed's... sitting in the train...I was holding my flower bouquet and we had a bottle of champagne and some plastic cups with us...4 more people were sitting with us and we gave them some champagne too and we celebrated with those complete strangers... that was sooo funny!

The next day we had the total eclipse of the sun, maybe some of you remember...that was so neat...but we all had mixed feelings about that day... rumors were going around that the world would go down on this day...I thought *I hope that is not true...I would have been married only for 1 day!!!* Not cool!

9 years later we are still happily married and the world is still turning...THANK GOD!!!

I attached a picture of the eclipse...

*Summer*

Awww...I would like to take this basket put food in there and sit all day long at the beach...BUT not this year :( it would be 1/2 the fun without my husband...

I love beaches...we live about 1 1/2 away from our beach...it is a wonderful one...it is called Jykell Island...I just would need an umbrella all the time and highest Sunprotection I can get...it takes me about 15 Minutes to get a sunburn without protection...isn't that terrible?

I wish you all a wonderful summer weekend :)

He wrote me that they are having 150F...it *cools* down to 100F in the night...isn't that horrible? He told me that he is drinking water and Gatorade like there is no tomorrow!

It is so rewarding to me to read what was written in in there...it makes me happy and keeps me going :)

Nothing really new here...I'm STILL working on my TDIPT dolls LOL but I'm getting there!

I talked to my Mom today, actually we talk every day, she told me that there was a picture in the newspaper of my Dad and her...the picture was taken last year in July 2007 at a local fest we had and it was an invitation for the people to come this year again...my Dad was already sick at that time and he was looking into the sky...it seems like as he was wondering if he would be here next time...it probably is just a coincident...I don't know!
The next day he had his first MRI and everything started to go down hill. It is 7 month now that he passed away and it still hurts like it just happened yesterday!
