Nelson friends, it’s that time of year again and I need your help!

I would like to make 150 Christmas food baskets this year for Nelson families in need.

Each basket costs $75, you can choose to donate a full basket, food items, or gift cards. Safeway will be helping me with the donation boxes at the tills, feel free to donate there as well.

Food items needed are:

Crackers, cookies, cheese, pickles, olives, oysters, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy mix, cans of vegetables, syrup, pancake mix and chocolates. Each basket also will need a 25$ gift card for a turkey and fresh fixings.

Let me know if you can help, please share my post as well!!

I’m starting early so I can reach my goal!!

Happy Thanksgiving! Remember to set your scales back 10 pounds this weekend.

First Lady of country. Queen of country music. Thank you Loretta Lynn for the music you shared with us.

Labor Day 2022: Facts, Meaning & Founding – HISTORY

Why do they call it Labour day?

It originated in the first workers’ rallies of the Victorian era. Historically, workers marked the day with various activities. These included parades, speeches, games, amateur competitions and picnics. The holiday promoted working-class solidarity and belonging during a time of rapid industrialization.

 It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894.

Why can’t I wear white after Labor Day?

Wearing white represented that you could afford to get out of the city and vacation elsewhere when summer ended. Since Labor Day typically represents the end of summer, a ‘rule’ was established that you shouldn’t wear white after Labor Day if you didn’t have the money to take fall and winter vacations

Today, Labour Day marks the unofficial end to summer and the start of a new school year for children in Canada. It is a day of rest and, for unions and labour activists, a day to celebrate the accomplishments of the labour movement and the benefits of having a union at work

Remembering your beautiful spirit, smile, your giving soul, hard work and your timeless beauty. And of course your legacy. Your missed 25 years later.
