Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

Welcome back to your work week! Well, most of you....

It seems that when it’s when we least expect to have a good time that we end up having the most fun. I was NOT looking forward to going camping over the long weekend at a friends camp. Charlene and her husband Jim had been asking for us to come out to their camp for quite some time now and I finally said I would go this past weekend.

I had been told it took an hour and a half to drive to the lake, then a boat ride across to get to the camp...this did nothing for me. All I could think about was bugs and bears, if you recall from an earlier blog, our last camping trip was full of both. We arrived to the landing and loaded the boat, then the trek across the lake began. Surprisingly, it was less than five minutes...and to look up at the cabin and see what these two had done with their property..was breathtaking.

Thoughts of bugs and bears soon evaporated.

The weather was another creature. Friday night, before dark set in, we set out to catch some fish. One was hooked but we let it go when we decided it was time to head back to camp where we filled the next few hours playing Cranium. It was cloudy, rainy and windy...that night and all the next day.

Saturday, it poured most of the day, but quite often throughout the day we heard exclamations from Joe and Jim...”look! blue sky! (which were just teeny tiny spots through the clouds) It’s clearing up!” but it never lasted. So, we filled the day with board games...Clue, Sorry and Dominoes. Donita and Chris, also friends of ours have a camp on the same lake and came over for dinner...they also got in on the Dominoes and after dinner we cracked open the Taboo!

Sunday, Jim and Joe finally went fishing and caught nothing..but at least they got out!!



WATER COOLER CONVERSATIONS....

G.I. Joe turned 45 over the weekend. How popular is G.I. Joe? 400 million G.I. Joe’s have been sold worldwide. AND…get ready….this Friday in theatres it’s G.I. Joe – The Rise Of Cobra opens. Early estimates predict this to be the summer blockbuster!!!!

Space Shuttle Endeavour landed safely last Friday morning in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Spent 16 days in space, and traveled almost 10.5 million km’s.

This next story almost sounds like a headline from a really bad tabloid – but – in fact…it’s true. A 28 year old woman in the Philippines gave birth to a baby with 2 heads. The newborn is still in ICU. The parents have 5 other children, and no history of twins in their families.

What do you think your cell phone is worth? A new British study revealed that 35% of youths aged 16-24 would not give up their cell phone even if they were offered $2 million.
