Referendum passes, will be wonderful for the community; Mother's Day here

Referendum passes, will be wonderful for the community; Mother's Day here

Well it looks like the Chisago Lakes School referendum has officially passed.  According to the numbers we were given, there were over 3,000 people that took part in the vote. That number is absolutely amazing to me. As a community we should be very proud that over 3,000 take that much ownership in our community. While the vote may or may not have went the way you voted, the bottom line is it passed and I truly believe that this will help the community.  A community center could be exactly what Chisago Lakes needs.  Either way, if you took part in the vote thank you. I would be writing this if the referendum lost as well.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day.  This is our day to honor our Mothers, Grandmothers and yes even wives for their unending love, compassion, work and support.  Mother’s Day is only but one day a year, which in my opinion should be once a month, so my advice is to make this day dedicated to your mom. As many of you know, our life is precious but it also very short, so use your time wisely and show them how much you love them.

If you have never taken in a high school baseball or softball game, I would encourage you to do so.  They are always free and provide great entertainment. Right now, the Chisago Lakes girls softball team is on a tear. They have only lost a couple of games and they certainly have state in their sights.  The boys baseball team always puts on a great show and have been playing great this year too.  Come on out and enjoy some great games for free.  The weather has finally turned the corner, so what better way to enjoy a warm srping evening?

This weekend is the fishing opener.  Whomever decided that opener and Mother’s Day should be on the same day must have been hitting the sauce.  Thousands of fishermen and women drive their boats a decent distance and fish all day Saturday just to rush home and spend a day with mom. That’s why I prefer to stay local.  We have some great fishing lakes around here and I love to visit Frankie’s prior to heading out. They will tell you all the hot spots and what bait to use.  That way I get home in time to mow, trim, paint, wash, oh, and celebrate.
