Time change reminder inspired by Blue Jays. Jays are changing the clock. Message also says Go Jays Go!

Not the Presbyterians. Too much water. They would just swap out windshield fluid with plain water and flip wipers on as needed. Water still reaches back of vehicle and candy doesn't get ruined... wet PB cups would be a sin!

"Oooooh yeah"savage! WTG Jays!

There are a lot of healthy elements there. Peanuts - protein. Ice cubes - water. Cheetos -
Calcium and protein because they are cheesies... and, well, the sour candies are not sweet so they can't be unhealthy... right?

St. James church outdoor sign updated with the following: Psalm 84 says sparrow finds home. Us: and Jays find home runs.

Couldn't bring yourself to share the baseball joke in the text? I guess I struck out on that, and there wasn't even any foul language. Ok I'll stop now. 🤣🤣🤣

The pastoral pup misunderstood what we meant by Games Night and played dead.

Cutting libraries and librarian positions is extremely short-sighted on so many levels and will have long term consequences, not only on students and the school system, but society in general.

I just read that peas are a popular pizza topping in Brazil. Did pineapple pizza lovers dig up that bit of news to improve their standing on the worst pizza topping top ten list (for the record, I like pineapple)?

Picked lots of garden goodies at the trailer today!

Fortune cookie says "You will soon have your moment of glory."

From a faith perspective, it's common to say - when a person dies - that they have received their glory (ie eternal glory from God).

Today was my birthday. I got this as a fortune cookie at the Dip. 🤣🤣🤣 Geez, 49 isn't that old (except when it is pointed out you were born in the 1900s).

6 ducks relaxing in the river at Bear Island

A joke my uncle told years ago and still makes me laugh.

1st guy: M R Ducks
2nd guy: M R Not
1st guy: M R Sew. Cedar Wings?
2nd guy: Whale Oil Beef Hooked! M R Ducks!

Making ice is my greatest accomplishment so far today and I'm cool with that. 🧊🧊🧊

Effective August 1st, we’re cutting tolls on the Confederation Bridge from $50 to $20 — and cutting fares on all interprovincial ferries in half in Atlantic Canada.

Canada’s new government is bringing down costs and building one strong, Canadian economy.

In Bear Island. Awesome strong breeze. Would make for choppy boating, but excellent broomstick travel. 🧹

Would love to share the credit for getting this vehicle back to its owner 😉. Perhaps church sign should promote free parking with valet services for stolen vehicles. www.facebook.com/share/v/1FzQ...

When on your drive to work you see the word "drugs" on the road with an arrow pointing to a former business property next to your church, and then your day gets side-tracked with "suspicious activity" on church property, one can't help but feel the church sign needs updating.
