Family Day  

Happy Family Day to you. Here in the US, this Monday is "President's Day". It's a federal holiday so all of the states recognize it. Although not everyone has a time off. I am one of the fortunate ones who have today as their day off.

Happy Family Day to you as well my fellow Canadian. I also have Family day here as I am in Alberta. I think that you have a good idea with the whole Heritage day or Flag day or such. True some people do not have a family or are not close to theirs.

There are a lot of activities going on in this town today for families. My husband dropped my daughter off at the recreation centre to participate. Ha! Not as a family though. I can't get on skates so I can't do that. I wanted to play board games but we all have different ideas. For my older daughter it's a day off school. For me, well, you know. I'm a housewife. I don't get a day off. I got up, washed the dishes, boiled some eggs for sandwiches (DH is working tonight), finished the laundry that I did yesterday.... Oops, forgot to take meat out for dinner. Have to make dinner tonight too. No day off for me. It doesn't matter what you call the day, or any other holiday, it's never a day off for me. *sigh*

I like your ideas. Our family day consists of my brother in law sitting in the kitchen talking to either himself or his imaginary friend, my husband is a total couch potato watching a marathon day of Mash on television, and I'm kept busy blowing my nose and almost ready to go downstairs and do laundry. In the meantime I'm saying my prayers by thanking God tomorrow will soon be here and it's a regular work day. I'd love to be able to shake this cold.

And back at you Sweet Friend

We don't have that here but

we do have prez day

Enjoy your day
