Updated this morning!

Update on our church sign: WORSHIP SUNDAY 11 A.M. WELCOME LET'S GO BLUE JAYS! FAITH HOPE FASTBALLS

Let's go Blue Jays!

Congrats. You'll have to practice saying Antigonish like a local—as close to one syllable as you can 😁

a view of the mountains across Lake Louise, AB, but the lake is so calm that it is hard to tell the real mountains from the reflection

My first visit to #LakeLouise last week—so beautiful!
(feel free to rotate the picture!)

Flying out of Halifax Stanfield International Airport, pilot Dimitri Neonakis recreated the Blue Jays logo with a clever flight path. ✈️

If the Blue Jays are able to pull this series back together, I think we're going to need a team visit to Guysborough County.

Can't vote, the best apples aren't even on your list: Gravenstein and Russet.

Car stopped at a railway crossing with the crossing gate resting on its roof.

Calgary death wish. “Why is the paint scratched on my roof?!?”

We could all use a little good news in our feeds!

Wonderful historical trip through Fredericton. Much appreciated.

Service includes "Blessing of the Backpacks," as we hold in prayer all who are beginning a new school year—students, teachers, staff, bus drivers. We’ll ask God’s blessing that classrooms and communities may be places of safety, friendship, and growth. Bring a backpack or other school-related item.

Nice feature. Any chance that you could add a feature to show the name of the command when you hover over it (web version)? —much like showing a mini-profile of the person when you hover over their id. I am likely to forget what some of these buttons do.
Thanks for your good work.

Great!
But why is this news. Shouldn't every shopping mall, warehouse, etc. in the country be installing solar panels on their roofs? Makes more sense than building them on farmland!

...or is it questioned more answers? 😆

Sounds like the Sunshine Dinner in Fredericton (except for the gratuity part) 😆

Spreading the word...

A song we NEED these days! (make sure you keep listening until the final verse)

But if you go then, there is no line-up at the cash 😝

You won't have time—you'll be too busy!

Millennium -> Perfection -> Timothy -> TCH -> New Maryland exit was a good alternative to Fredericton from Porters area (wouldn't help if coming from further out).

Looking for something to do this weekend? Join us at St. James Presbyterian Church (1991 Hwy 640, Hanwell) for two great community events:

All are welcome!

Maritime Madness now makes a "Mild" Mustard Pickle (only 3 on their scale), for times when heat is not required (or tolerated).

Thanks! Maritime Madness also has some great mustards (in various heat levels), but they serve different purposes than an oktoberfest mustard. (There are also some good honey mustards around that are OK but only make me wish I still had my Schneiders.)
