Heavy rain, all night and morning; it did let up by the early afternoon! We went to Christiane and Suzanne’s house around 4 pm where we met everyone except Therese and Michel. After chatting and catching up to news, it was time for dinner. Suzanne is a butcher at “SUPER C”, a grocery store and she got a beautiful big roast which she cooked to perfection and we devoured without any prompting. For dessert, we had frozen ice cream chocolate cake. The dinner was a success and so was the evening afterwards. Took lots of pictures and have posted a few. We got home at midnight and went straight to bed. Tucker was happy to see us, to say the least and quickly went outside to relief himself!
SUNSHINE but cool, only got up to 17*C! I went over and helped Gilles with his new project. I came home around 3:30 pm and phoned Rochelle hoping to catch Graeme at home but the dinner was postponed to tomorrow due to Hayley being at her course today. I read for a while then it was time for dinner...Spare ribs and potatoes with vegetables. After dinner, Gilles and Lise came over for a while then it was bedtime.
Another sunny day but cool again! We didn’t do much today; take a walk, watch the tube and read. At 3 pm, we went over to Gilles and Lise for a visit and dinner. Lise decided to cook a turkey, tourtiere and mashed potatoes with cranberry sauce along with all of it, to make us feel at home (they do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Quebec). Gaetan and Josette were also invited but Josette had to go home early as she wasn’t feeling very good but Gaetan stayed for dinner (at Josette’s insistence). The meal was delicious and we had a good time. The boys did the dishes while the girls sat back and chatted. I drove Gaetan home as Josette had taken the car home. We had a good day and even better dinner.
Sunny again! Val and I went for a walk with Tucker then it was lunch time. I decided to get going on my last project: built a shelf in the basement locker to better organize my hoses and electrical cables. It’s not the best thing but it will do! Peter came out and began working on his yard, getting everything for the winter. Lise had given us some leftover turkey last night and Val made some hot turkey sandwich with boiled potatoes, vegetables and hot sauce.
14
days to our departure to the USA!
