JULY 24, Thursday
Rain, rain and more rain. Most of the day so spent it reading, feeding the dogs and read some more
JULY 25, Friday, Vet day!
Took Tucker to the vet. this morning. He got his shots for rabies and got a full check up. All is well and he is healthy. He did NOT like having the thermometer up his rear end!!! He weighs a healthy 21 lbs which is the same as last year. He is now all set for our trip to the States and Mexico.
Went for brunch afterward then we got more groceries at Loblaws. Came home and Val went for a swim. It was sunny today but we did get rain in the evening although we managed a campfire in the early evening.
JULY 26, Saturday,
Cut the lawn this morning while it's still sunny then it was swim time. Lise's son and his family came over to enjoy the lake but left around 4:30 p,m. as it started to drizzle! Surprise!!!
JULY 27, Sunday
Sun and clouds this morning. We went cycling into town, followed this trail and ended up at Gaetan's place. We visited with them and their guests for about an hour then cycled back to the truck and came home, just in time for more rain.
It rained overnight
JULY 28, Monday
Wrote some e-mails this morning then we walked the dogs, cleaned the place up a bit and Val did laundry.
In the afternoon, we went to Pierreville, about an hour from here. This is where my mom was raised as a child so it was neat to re-visit it again. We drove on to Notre-Dame de Pierreville, had a beer, enjoyed the views by the river and took some pictures. This is where the St-Francois River empties into the St-Lawrence river. It used to be a big port and industrial area when my mom grew up but there is nothing here now except chalet and the Indian reserve
Came home, had dinner and Gilles and Lise arrived around 7 p.m. We chatted till late. They had a very good holiday
JULY 29, Tuesday, Visit from Terry and Glenda
Sun and clouds again this morning. Got a call from Glenda and Terry in the morning. They arrived at our place around 1p.m. Sure nice seeing them again. Made the introductions to Gilles and Lise then I took them to the campsite across the way from us and got them all booked in. The lady didn't speak any English.
Afterwards, they cycled over and we sat by the lake, chatted and enjoyed the sun while it lasted. Val prepared a nice meal and then we sat around, chatted and caught up to all their news.
JULY 30, Wednesday, cycling
The 4 of us went cycling along Hemming way, approx 8-9 miles return then after cooling off, we went over to their place for happy hour. Lise hurt her knee earlier in the day riding their ATV and now she is laid up with ice on her knee.
We had fajita for dinner, Glenda's specialty and it was delicious. We then sat inside as it started to rain and we BS'ed till about 11 p.m. when we came home. Glenda showed me how they keep track of sites they want to see so I am going to start something similar
JULY 31, Thursday, Sightseeing to Sherbrooke
We took Glenda and Terry to Lemaire cheese factory where we had poutine and lunch then we took a drive down hwy 155 towards Sherbrooke looking for antique places. We did find one place which had all kinds of junk and an eccentric old man. We spent a few minutes there then drove on to Richmond then Windsor and finally to Sherbrooke where we walked around the city centre and looked at beautiful murals then had a beer at a local pub.
We drove back home to rain and stormy skies, had dinner at our place then looked at pictures and Glenda caught up to her blog. I also got some more tips on using Picasa program.
They left around 11:30 p.m. and we said our goodbyes as they are leaving tomorrow for more adventure. I tried to convince them to stop in Quebec city as I don't think they will be disappointed.
