It's time for the best from the best on Facebook Friday.

We'll start with this one, "How my wife apologizes: I'm sorry for the mean, hurtful, accurate things I said."

I like this, "Forget about the past. You can't change it. Forget about the future. You can't predict it. And, forget about the present. I didn't get you one."

Here's a thought, "Your ex asking you to still be friends after you break up is like kidnappers asking you to stay in touch after they let you go."

Agape House is taking a creative approach to promoting mental health by sharing simple facts and helpful resources. 

Lisa Fast, Outreach and Housing Counsellor at Agape House says the idea came after she received an email from the Healthy Living Team at Southern Health about the “Love My Community” challenge happening throughout May. 

Engines will be revving and mud flying as the Miami Tractor Pull & Mud Bog/Car Show Weekend rolls back into town on Saturday and Sunday, delivering two days packed with horsepower, family fun, and down-home excitement.

Organized by local enthusiast Russ Suderman, the event is now in its fourth year and continues to build momentum, attracting people from across Manitoba—and even beyond.

All ages of ball players will be in Kerrobert on Saturday for a full day of action at the local diamonds.

The three diamonds at the Kerrobert Fairgrounds are set for nonstop action on Saturday from 10:30-4:30. After the various levels of baseball and softball finish up their games, adults will take the field for slo-pitch games starting between 6:30 and 7:00. 

Baseball is set for Diamond #1, softball on Diamond #2, and then a mixed bag of the youngest divisions will be part of the action on Diamond #3.

Although recent rain brought seeding to a temporary halt, local farmer Murray King was all smiles when he received a lunch delivery through Seed N Feed presented by Mack Auction Company.

King, who farms near Frobisher, said this year’s seeding got off to a strong start, with only a few minor mechanical issues before the rain hit.

“We had a good start to the season, besides a few little minor breakdowns,” he said. “I guess we could have probably been done before the rain, but I need four days, it'll dry up, and we’ll get ’er done.”

A family farm near Hodgeville was the first destination for this year's Seed and Feed.

Our team brought a K-Motel lunch to the crew from Muri Farm yesterday.

"We're multigenerational," said Megan Muri. "My husband, his dad, his brother, and my husband's grandfather all farm together as well as my dad, and we have some hired help as well."

It's been a quick seeding so far for the Muri farm.

"It went really fast," she said. "We started really early, and the rain came at the right time. We've got about 160 acres left."
