Seems like we should be saying Happy Birthday Victoria. Unless I missed something she isn't that old.

Every April the MG clubs in Michigan get together an sing Happy Birthday to Cecil Kimber, the driving force behind the MG car company. He was born in 1888, so he would have been 130 this year. I think I read Victoria would be 199. As a side note, he was always fascinated with 8's since he was born that year. That's why the MG logo has 8 sides.

Drink Beer, plant plants, go camping , BBQ.

The day is to actually celebrate Queen Victoria’s and Queen Elizabeth’s Birthdays. But is commonly called the May 2 4 weekend (a case of Beer has 24 bottles) and the dates sometimes coordinate I.e. May 24th weekend.

We love Canada. Spent our Honeymoon in the Chateau Frontenac overlooking the St. Lawrence river and returned there for our 35th. They upgraded our rooms both times. We also visited Ottawa and Montreal. I visited Toronto on a business trip. Canadians are very friendly eh.
