Mawlid Un Nabi History
Mawlid un Nabi, also known as Eid Milad un Nabi, is a significant religious event for Muslims. The observance commemorates the birth anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad, who is the founder of Islam and is revered as the last prophet of God. With a substantial population of Muslims in Canada, this day is marked with great enthusiasm as an opportunity to honor the Prophet Muhammad, his teachings, and the Islamic faith.

Missing bowling. We used to have a bowling palace in Strathroy, but it was sold and is now a Pharmacy and Medical Clinic. Not that we didn’t need more doctors, but we also need recreational facilities. When we first moved to Strathroy, we didn’t know anyone. So my husband suggested we join a Sunday night bowling league. And he was right. The friends and connections we made while bowling are amazing.
Rainy Days at Grandma Camp this year, we went into London to bowl. Only $40 for a lane for an hour. Bumper guards up and we had lots of fun.
