Happy Labor Day on September 6, 2010!
We work in order to live, not live in order to work. From automobile mechanics to zoologists, the toil is dignified and noble.
Here are some fine young men and women that made us happy this last year. These are photographs from the past year in Santa Fe and Taos.
Sarah the Barmaid at Cowgirl Cafe in Santa Fe! Have a Good Labor Day!
Jennifer at Casa Sena opening a bottle of wine for us at lunch. Happy Labor Day, Jennifer!
Happy Labor Day, Lawrence, of The Candy Man, Santa Fe!

Great pics, Jack, and WOW description of why we work. How true it is! Gonna have me a glass of that white brew this afternoon (not fond of reds). A toast to you and Brenda and all who toil but know how to relax…and when.
Happy Labor Day!
What a lovely, colorful picture of Brenda at the Candy Man. You’re making me lonesome for SF and Taos. I trust your weekend is going well. This is a nice tribute to all the workers who make life work for us on so many levels. Happy Labor Day to you and Brenda!
Thank you for your response on Labor Day. I’m just now back on the internet after the storm.
Ok, now I’m really homesick and wish I was working, particularly in Santa Fe. Thanks for the photos.
You are welcome. Sorry that Santa Fe is not in your immediate future. Hope all is well.
What a lovely post! It’s a good idea to spend Labor Day recognizing the work of people who make us happy.
Thanks, Laura. Yes, I think it’s important to recognize those that make us happy and provide a service. We’re calling the plumber today.
