Cheryl "Coop" Cooper

We have our first grand baby this year. My son moved to Missouri, then Mississippi and final destination New Mexico. They got pregnant in Missouri. Elizabeth Noel was born in Mississippi and is growing up in New Mexico. My husband and I live in Missouri so it is a long way to see her now. She is so chubby and adorable! I miss them something terrible, they came here for Mothers Day and it was so special.

I now know what all those Grandmas feel like.

I was shocked to see how long it had been since I had been on this site.

The summer keeps us Realtors busy! I go from zero to a hundred and multi tasking does not begin to explain how many jobs we are doing at one time. Yesterday, I had to charge my phone 3 times.

It may sound complacent but in actuality I am loving it. The hotter is gets the better our homes sell.

Odd but true. So from a busy Realtors view sizzle on Summer!~

The new Boston Terrier is a terrorist. He is the latest addition to a used to be quiet home.

We thought we had him potty trained but with this new batch of ice outside he seems to think it the floor inside has better potty places.

So back to NO NO-ing him and good boying him when he goes outside.

Well my husband was sneaking around with some presents today bringing them up from the basement and placing them under the tree. He was in good spirits playing Santa.

I heard him scream UGGH and oh sh...t and I could tell he had lost his Christmas spirit.

Sure enough the little terrorist had hidden a Christmas Eve tird under the Christmas tree and my husband got to step in it and not realize until he had climbed all the stairs and half the house. Needless to say our entire carpet and rugs all Christmas and bright now had been christened with dog tird.

Out came the mops, rags,paper towels, shampooer's etc and our Christmas Cleaning has begun.

A tird under the tree was pretty close to going outside so it is kinda hard to be mad, but boy does this stuff smell.

Merry Christmas Dog lovers!

Take time to Remember the people we lost on this day 7 years ago.

Please fly your flag outside your home today.

The History of Labor Day

Labor Day: How it Came About; What it Means

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.

In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country. gth, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Hope you have a Happy and Safe Labor Day!
