MAY  9,  Friday, chores in Drummond'Ville

 

A sunny day but very cool.  Gilles had his new arch entrance delivered so we spent time to set it up properly.  My brother Peter arrived from Montreal and helped us bury the sewer pipe to the rig.  The girls (Val and Lise) stained the arch then we had a campfire after dinner. 

 

 

MAY  10,  Saturday

 

Went shopping for some new pants as I am down to only one pair of jeans and they are ready to walk on their own.  Afterwards, we went to my brother Gaetan and his wife Diane and had a very nice visit and a wonderful dinner.  Pot roast cooked like my mom used to.

 

 

MAY  11,  Sunday, MOTHER'S DAY

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!  Another sunny but cool day.  Lise'son and his wife Linda came over and so did my sister Therese and her husband Michel.  We had a wonderful visit and then BBQ'ed some hot dogs and buns and the girls made salad and French fries.  It was delicious.  After dinner, my other sister, Christiane, came over for a short visit.

 

 

MAY  12,  Monday,

 

Went to town and got some parts I need for some repairs.  Installed a new antenna hook-up for the FM radio.  It's now hooked to the TV antenna.  Also fix the seal on the toilet as the water wouldn't stay in.  Changed the in-line filter for the drinking water by the sink and then relaxed.

Val is doing her exercise now in the morning and has Lise joining her.  She was also busy doing laundry.  It was sunny and colder today.  The wind is also blowing a bit
