Been there, done that.

Looks photo-shopped to me.

Too much green grass.

Is that the new hub in DHS?

24 Sussex Drive, Ottawa - the home of the Prime Minister:

And from the Ottawa River, in behind:

You can actually get right up to the shoreline from the river.

Unlike in the U.S., this is 100% his home. There is no Oval Office equivalent, no tours that I know of. And a whole lot less security.

Our previous PM Jean Chretien's wife confronted an armed (knife) intruder at their bedroom door one night, while the PM slept. Smart lady - slammed the door, locked it, and then woke up Hubby.
Security certainly increased following that incident. A bit.

That's a beautiful home....but I don't see one single moose

The Trappist Monks do this one VERY well...!

There is a Trappist Monastery in Gethsemani KY that makes a great cheese to go with your beer.

Yesterday we broke through the freezing mark into the low 40s and I was a happy camper. We are over joyed with rumors of 50's this upcoming week but it was in the 30's today with some light snow.

You are not alone with the state of the state of the parks. The MK is coming along, still major work to do but the hub over the last year was a nasty welcome to the park. Now gone but nets on attractions like Splash Mt and under the tree of life are enough to make us all annoyed.

Given you like camping and state parks it will be a great 6 weeks for you. Is the trip soon?

The reason I joined WDWmagic was to keep up with what was going on in the parks, look forward to getting back when they've done a few things.
Leaving end of May for trip, have been checking routes and making some ressies at a few overnight stopping points.

Go Tammy! I'm so glad I can sew. My drapes are amazing!

I'm glad I can sew too. My great-grandmother taught me to hand sew and machine sew on a treadle machine. I still sew...make all our draperies because most store bought drapes are too generic looking.

You should have a great time. The weather in May and June is generally a nice part of early summer, comfortable temps make for good vacationing. Will you camp at all while you are out there?

Donald does not wear pants...does @donaldtoo ???????

No he wears t-shirts, shorts and flip flops - TSSFF, and some times he goes on a beer run ... ergo, TSSFFBR.
Mark it down. There will be a test.

 

[JenniferS]

Yes I can. I do it all the time. Nice and cold, nice and cold, nice and colder . . .

In case you missed it @TomP, @MinnieM123 is nuts!
We like her, but the gal is whack a doodle!

My boss said the Tampa prices are very cheap (for homes) but Orlando is insane now.

Well I could live with living in the Tampa area if homes etc are that much cheaper that Orlando area.

I do have a tendency to bring out the compliments from my fans.

Have you consulted with Walt about this? He's a cold weather dog, you know. He might not like it if you force him to live in a hot climate.

Friends/the people who are going to Baker Act you ... potato/potahto.

I would just like to say that my front lawn here in Wisconsin is totally clear of snow! I can't wait to see my daffodils!

 

[TomP]

well, most worker (big hat) sombreros arent that heavy, and give nice shade.
but almost noone uses them anymore.
maybe poor farmers.

The only sombrero I have came off the top of a bottle of tequila

That's one thing I miss from living up north...seeing the daffodils come up

And hopefully, not too crowded. Will camp (if you call motor home camping) the entire trip. Used to tent camp, but getting too old for that

Lunch @ Costco:

1 and 4/5 of a hotdog for Hubby ... 1/5 of a hotdog plus a couple of fries for me.

However, I brought this beauty home:

(So much prettier before I had to deconstruct it to remove the icky tomato.)

And milk, of course.
