Above: Five-year-old Remington Hutton took off his shoes, rolled up his cuffs and cast a fishing line into Pleasure Island trout pond and let time just stand still. There is nothing like a lazy day on a dock just casting a line and waiting for a nibble. Camrose and District Fish and Game Association Pleasure Island is the perfect place to kick back. Maintained by volunteers, this beautiful little gem of a place offers so much – fishing at a well-stocked pond, walking trails, making use of picnic areas, and enjoying the natural amphitheatre and observations sites, all in a serene natural setting. For more information on Pleasure Island, see inside story on page 2.

S tealing someone’s co ee is called mugging. The other day I held the door open for a clown. It was a nice jester. Pasteurize: too far to see. No matter how much you push the envelope, it’ll still be stationer y. Whoever invented “knock-knock” jokes should get a no -bell prize. Energizer Bunny arrested: charged with batter y. I put my grandma on speed dial. I call that Instagram. Whenever I am with my family and someone says, “Wow, you have a beautiful family!” I reply, “Well, we lef t the ugly ones at home. ” I would call my fashion st yle: “clothes that still t .” If you eat an entire cake without cutting it , you technically only had one piece. I keep a nude painting of myself in my living room. Laugh if you want , but it sure keeps company from dropping by. If Johnny has 29 pieces of bacon and he eats 23 pieces, what does Johnny have? Happiness, Johnny has happiness! Not to brag, but every time I’ ve played hard to get , I’ ve won. My son made the mistake of telling me I was being overdramatic, so I just changed the WiFi password. We’ll see who’s overdramatic in about ve minutes. 90% of grocer y shopping is waiting for somebody to get out of your way. Dear Food Truck owners, ride down the block like the Ice Cream trucks do. When I was young, I used to hope I’d wake up beautiful. Now I just hope I wake up! I think we just need to accept that the ’90s was our peak as species. Roses are red. I’m going to bed. Son: “Dad, I’ ve got a par t in the school play, I play a man who’s been married 25 years.” Dad: “Maybe nex t time you’ll get a speaking par t .” If loud noises are your thing, you should stop by af ter I’ ve had some bean dip. Sometimes I wish I could be the load of laundr y in my dr yer so I could sit in a dark , quiet space and ever yone would ignore me for at least a week . I hate when people accuse me of lolly gagging, when I’m clearly dilly dallying. Pros of being an adult: I can eat 28 cookies and no one can stop me. Cons of being an adult: I ate 28 cookies. No one stopped me, and now I feel aw ful. Being a Mom means never buying the right amount of produce. Either ever yone suddenly loves grapes and a week’s wor th is eaten in one day, or fruit ies are congregating around the bananas. I asked my boss if I could leave early today and he said, “Only if you make up the time.” I said, “Okay, it’s 35 past 50.” Wish we could crossbreed the mosquitoes and the lightning bugs. At least then we could see them coming. Why are there never any good side e ects? Just once, I’d like to read a medication bottle and see, “May cause ex treme sexiness.” Dir t tired: a condition that occurs af ter spending all day in the garden. A Mexican magician says he will disappear on the count of three. He says, “uno, dos…” poof. He disappeared without a tres. I have a Polish friend who’s a sound technician. Oh, and a Czech one too. Czech one too. Czech one too.
