HOMEWORD BOUND

Sarah and I went to New Brunswick the long weekend in May. We actually played hooky from school and took two extra days;) We left Friday, May 16Th and arrived Saturday afternoon. I decided to go as far as Edmonston and stay the night....GOOOOOd choice!! When we got back on the road Saturday we saw 4 moose! We first saw a little guy strutting his stuff in the middle of the road. We honked...and for a good ten minutes, followed him up the road. Then we came upon another three. We laughed so much since our cameras were packed in the back of the van and couldn't get to them on time to take some pictures!

When we did arrive, we were back in the car heading to the Bay for some tasty red things!! Actually, they are green before you cook them. YUP...we had lobster every day we were home...lol. We had lobster Saturday with butter, lobster omelette's on Sunday morning, lobster pasta sunday night....AND...lobster and steak monday night! What a treat!!

We were fortunate enough to get to Bathurst for the day on Monday. We had the chance to check out Dad and Ginette's work in progress:) Great job guys! And also we got to spend some time eating cookies and fudge with Nana "O" and Papa Lou Lou.

I am always sad when I go back to Bathurst since most times there is always a huge change. This time one of the restaurants were closed. It does make me sad to see such changes, but it is my place of birth and will always be my "home".

Sarah and I took on a project while we were visiting Nana. We decided that the huge tree in the back should have bird houses hanging. So we painted some houses and hung them. We had so much fun, even Nana got into it. Sarah, when we arrived back in Montreal, made me buy more so when we go back this summer we can keep adding to tree.

We left on the wed. (may 21st) to come back to Montreal. It was difficult to leave, it always is. I enjoy so much having my morning coffee with my mom. Shopping...and doing the girl thing with two of my favorite people--my daughter and my mother. I love the after supper talk in the living with Hubie and staying up late watching TV with them.

I realize at times...I am very lucky to be living close enough to be able to drive, unlike my two sisters who live so far away (and are missed very much) but even saying this, it can feel like the other side of the world at times.

I will be going back this summer to spend some time gardening with my mom--going to the beach with Dad and Ginette...and enjoying the life of a maritimer----there isn't anything like it:) SEE YOU ALL SOON
