Since I live in Canada

Yes, I am Canadian and we are about to celebrate the Birthday of a very old lady named "Queen Victoria". She is one of our most famous historic figures in this country and we mostly know her as the Queen of the English Empire (now the commonwealth). Anyway most of us will be having some kind of food and drink to celebrate and take in the fun of a long weekend.

When I was in school us kids loved the idea of a long weekend and on Friday afternoon,

we all rushed out of the doors of the school, running frantically down the hill of the town to get into the sun and warm breeze coming off the lake.These 3 days marked the true beginning of Spring.

Picnics and Movies were the most fun and our parents had all the relatives over for BBQ's.

Now days this weekend involves going to the Mall and driving around madly trying to catch up on errands, texting and talking to keep track of the scattered out family members. Usually the evenings involve having a few drinks and falling into bed hoping to sleep in abit. I really miss running down the hill feeling so free and looking forward to lots of food and playing with all the cousins. So how do you use your time on the May long weekend?
