^^^ ain't you just the sweetest guy @danger_dan ?!!

[Lynn49]

Is your DD coming to help you guys open up the camp grounds this Mother's Day weekend @Lynn49?

Also Happy (early) Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mom's in our little corner of the interwebs here!

Aw....thank you on behalf of the Moms here, @danger_dan!

Our DD will also be driving up tomorrow to start opening up their RV, her boys will drive up after work/school, so they should be there by dinnertime. It's fun, yet tedious to do all the freshening up, making up the beds, the outdoor stuff, but there are the campfires at night to snuggle up to, and of course, SO nice seeing whoever else is up this weekend! As long as the heater and fireplace work at night and the air-conditioning during the day, we'll be set! Thank you for asking, Dan!!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend, Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms, be they Moms of humans or those with paws, I do hope you're all in good health and spirits this weekend!

Our wifi should be up and running, satellite connected, so I should be in touch.

Oh.. @Skippy...did I answer your question about my role with our group? We're called Rising Stars, and we're sponsored and supported by our local Health Unit and Seniors' Centre...I'm the moderator. I introduce our group, do a preliminary introduction to each of 4 skits, and a conclusion to each, also, then thanking our audience at the end. I know they want me to do some acting, but I'm just not prepared to do that...so far. I like what I do now.. The topics are serious for seniors, but there's a lot of humour in the skits which, by the giggles and applause, our seniors can sure identify with!

Well, @danger_dan I think you're not supposed to say "Happy Mother's Day" anymore--well according to the TDSB I guess. Anyone read about the sign in front of the school that the kids thought up which said, “Life does not come with a manual. It comes with a mom.”
After complaints about this non-inclusive message, the TDSB took the sign down. One of my fave anti-woke columnists: https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/agar-shame-on-tdsb-for-changing-schools-mothers-day-message

I know it's Toronto stuff, but still crazy to me. We'll be celebrating the mums in our family on Sunday with one mum (me) cooking and getting my mum's garden beds spruced up.

@alex78 I also read about that story and the hullabaloo over the sign. I cannot imagine it was intended to offend families with no actual Mom figure. Seemed to be a little bit of a play on words to me, meant to tell the students to respect and listen to Mom to guide them through life. ( I think? ) . Can't please everyone I suppose.

Enjoy your day, everyone!

[Lynn49]

[danger_dan]

Good morning folks

[walkonby]

Bah.

Hey you! Get on the road already! @Lynn49 Camp isn't going to open up itself! bwahahaha ....I am just the teeniest bit jealous, especially because the sun is out in full force here. Hoping you get lovely weather up there for opening weekend as well!!
Did my rounds early this morning....fuel, worms, all the great sales at NF!! I bought TWO watermelons, 9 cobs of corn and some of the T-bone steaks on sale, so it's sure to be a Mother's Day weekend of BBQ now that I have all the stuff.

Nice memes @GoJays you haven't lost your touch!
