Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Summer holidays are mostly about grilling, I think.
I've bought some sausages and coleslaw and potato salad I'll eat outside, and I aim to haul the grill out.

And, round these parts, the haywagon sale on Pullman road between Gobles and Allegan. I went yesterday, my usual antiquing day.

Sounds a bit like here, when we get the weather for it (not bad this year, but August can be a wet month) :D There's always lots of 'car-booting' too! :thumbsup:

Very nice photo Jack. Monday we will celebrate Labor Day by attending a cookout hosted by good friends. We will bring a food item or dessert. The rest of the day/weekend will be gardening in the yard and relaxing.

Good morning Guardians. Hope you all are having a great weekend. My wife and I are preparing for a vacation trip to Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna and Prague. 15 days in all starting on the 12th of September. Today I'll have my HHB with me to assist with some yard work.

Hi Jack,

Labor Day to me is the last big get together of the summer months. Spent with family and/or friends. The foods I think of are grilled chicken thigh, burgers and hot dogs. Potato salad and watermelon. Canned beer in the ice chest under lots of ice.

Hanging around beside the river, lake or a backyard pool.

That sounds fantastic Pete, I hope you have a wonderful time my friend :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, hope you're all enjoying a great weekend. It took me a while to get to sleep last night, but then I slept like a log, not waking up until an unprecedented 10.00am!! :eek: I could have easily gone back to sleep too! 😴 Hope it's not related to my bump on the head on Thursday :rolleyes: What're you doing today folks, what do people do in the US over Labor Day weekend, are there any traditions, or is it just a case of putting your feet up? I don't think I'm going to be doing much today, it's quite gloomy outside, so I might just stay in, and work up an appetite for a sausage sammich ;) :D Have a great Sunday Guardians :) :thumbsup:

Hot much. Right now having some coffee and pondering and piddling. Might go up to my brothers after while and be a red neck on the loose. 🤣 Got the Boss out CF and CE. The really good news is I have the next five days off. 😁

Interesting to see Steve :) When I was a teenager, I used to walk part of my way to work past the old TEW factory, and there were scores of workers teeming in through about a dozen entrances. A shame they went into decline :( :thumbsup:

Thanks for the picture Jack, any idea on the age of my knife ? The seller said he thought that it was from the early part of the 20th century.

Hard to say Steve, maybe 1930's :thumbsup:

I like the TARDIS blue door. 🤠:thumbsup:
I tried to get my wife to let me paint our front door that color... she wasn't having it. :(

Like others have said, it's mostly BBQs, swimming, camping, and relaxing.

My front door used to be that colour John (it's black now)! :D Hope you're having a great weekend :) :thumbsup:

Those trees are incredible Dave, I always think about what they must have looked like to people seeing them for the first time. I'm glad that there are still some left. I don't think I've ever seen another Lambsfoot with redwood covers, nice that it has stirs such fond thoughts for you :) :thumbsup:

LOL! :D When I was a teenager, I spent some time living among olive groves, and without an abundance of food, but I didn't like the taste of olives until I was about 40! It was very strange, and apparently not uncommon, having being told that I might like them as I got older, I tried olives many times, but found them awful. Then, suddenly, it was as if someone flipped a switch, and I have loved them ever since :D :thumbsup:

With good reason :) :thumbsup:

Thank you for all your kind words Harvey :) :thumbsup:

Thank you for the tunes too :) :thumbsup:

That's one heck of an image my friend :cool: :) :thumbsup:

A lovely image :) That old wooden roller coaster sounds cool :cool: There is an old one here called the Big Dipper too. 'Crazy Mouse' (or 'Wild Mouse') seems to have been a common roller coaster name in the the past too, which I always think rather funny. There is one in Brighton, on the southern English coast called that, and it sits high above the sea. It's very tame by modern standards :) I haven't been on a roller-coaster for years, but my mate's lad will talk about them endlessly! :D :thumbsup:


When I was a kid, we went on holiday to Blackpool, the seaside resort where the Big Dipper is located. It rather dominated the town back then. My dad spent the whole of the holiday, and much time thereafter, telling me that when I was "a bit older" he'd take me on it. I was in my early 20's, with a girlfriend, when I eventually went on it, but after a lifetime of build-up, it was a bit of a disappointment! :D :thumbsup:

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday :) Based on my last posting time, I have just had one heck of a nap! :eek:

Growing up among this huge stand of California Redwoods was spectacular Jack, and on the other hand, it is difficult to imagine the profound effect war had on kids growing up in your country and other parts of the world.

Here is my current collection of Lambsfoot knives.

Not to bring the conversation back to olives but I like green olives on pizza. No one else in my family does, they don’t even want me to put them on half of the pizza. So if I want olives on my pizza, I have to get my own.

Around here Labor Day is the last hurrah for most of the boats on our lake. It’s crazy, bigger than the 4th, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, like this weekend. Our “dock crawl” is on rain or shine! 🤪
