Ti-Lo

Today we had a super snowstorm!!!

What to do went it is grey snowy and not looking great!!!!! Well how about putting your ski boots and your skis and got up a big hill and reach a super duper cottage in the mild of the wood and have a super supper call: fondue chinoise.

So that what we did me and 8 of others of my friends. We pack the super in our nap sac; add some wines and some beers with out forgetting a nice dessert and off we went.

Well I have to add that I ‘ m not in a great shape and it catches me up pretty soon! Wow I was pretty a shame of my performance. Boy it took me 1 hour and ½ to reach the cottage thank you lord that I was suppose to go and reserve a place in advance.. Every one arrived just a few minutes after me and they were at the parking below 45 minutes after me!!! Well I will be better the next time…hop so!!!

We are so organize that no one forgot anything,,, we did a nice fire in the wood stove and heat up everything on it to star the fondue and the coffee. Put the candles on the table to light up the cottage, the beer was well welcome to start and we finished with the wines. A Few other people like us arrive time to time we were about 25 people in that cottage. We talked and eat like there was no tomorrow to realised we had to start to go down hill. Yes because it up hill went you got (3,8 K) it take less time to retune to your car, that is the positive about it hihihi! You put the skies in the track and off you go pretty asy!! So I took some picture of the group…

We are planning to retune again in 2 weeks to do a raclette. We got 2 that doesn’t require electricity hou hou!

And two week ago we did a cheese fondue there,, wow that it was good!
(I walked the last time)

So that it.......



It all started in January 2006. Went a guy from Europe came to start a new job here in Gatineau. Well, he was…. and…. we were fare to believe the wonderful friendship we were to begin during his stay here in Gatineau. His boss from here discovers that we were sometime renting a bedroom for people that come for a short stay or for a few weeks. To help them to find a real place to stay during a process of a new job in Canada or a period of school period. We rented him a bedroom for apparently just a few weeks so he could get his own apartment Well… he like it so much that we almost had to kick him out went his girl friend arrive finally here in august. I’m just kidding. Yep 8 months ½ later.

But I have to admit Pierre is a type of a guy that every mother would be proud. So generous of himself, lost of laughs and nice to talk to. During is stay we brought him with us to various place in Quebec to make him discover our beautiful province of Quebec. He saw the north short of Saint Laurent River and the south short. We introduce him to our family and friend. We did many activities; outing in the region of the Outaouais. Camping, supers, visits in museums, restaurants, visits with friends. Talking by the campfire, sodokus, movies nights, and sushi night. Watching shooting stars. Lots and lost of supers and carts games and different games with is adoptive sister and brother. Parties and outings in the different bars of Gatineau and Ottawa with them. Juggling and so on …. During his stay here his parents came to visit him and us at the same time. We were introduced to wonderful persons. A wonderful frenchipe was just started at the same time. I got the fever now for Europe. Every week was a great deal of supers and get together. We also got more and more familiar with different type of French cheeses and French wines and vegetarians food. Well forget the big diet it not used. Hihihi. Pierre his a guy of good taste by the way. When we finally met is girlfriend, Marina. Every man that we know wanted to go to Brazil for vocation

Marina his also a wonderful person like Pierre with lost of nice sense of humour and kindness. We learned to know each other during different super and outings. The year them passed with out even realising that it was almost passed. Pierre learned that is contract would not be renewed. It was a sad time went we learn the news since that we were so a costumed to have them with us part of our family. Even thought tears and sadness was in our heart went we kiss them good by last Monday (January 15 2007)at the airport it will not finish there, we are determined to go see them in France and Brazil since that now we had built a wonderful friendship. Like Michelle, Pierre’s mother, we feel that we are related now and that we always have that wonderful friendship to keep us united….

Till then au revoir et a mai prochain…..

Do you????

In July I went to a nice tripe in Gaspésie to a wonderful family reunion. Usually it is in January a day after New Year. But because that we want to joint more people it was made in July. Since that we are pretty close family. It is always such a great time to be together. We were 55 and only 14 were missing. I saw my mom and dad and my sister and her spouse. My family leave 11 hours from me and I miss them often. We try to visit each other a few times during the year. We did deferments activities. Since that Pierre:happy: was with us I try to show him as mush thing that I could in such a small period of time. But we had a great time. After the week end every one left for there home town. With the heart feel with nice memory till the next reunion.. I was feeling pretty happy after seeing all my relatives. But a few day after that I was home I receive the new that every one that leave fare from home doesn’t want to hear. My Mother got very hill and we had to do a family reunion to figure out what we will have to do for our parents. Since that the prognostic was pretty bad. I took the bus back home and spend 6 days pretty worry of the future could bring us. I spend all my time in the hospital with her and each day seem to waking her bite by bite to the point that she totally came out of her coma situation. I realised then how bad our medical system could be. I don’t feel to talk about it since that I was pretty mad of some nurse every day... Thank you lord that I worked 13 years in the system of nursing home and knew how stuff was done. So I could give her the good cares she was needed. I helped lots. I came back home after that we knew that she was safe. Not all cure but safe! I realise them that never take any ting for granted. And to savour every moments that you have to say tank you that your parent are a live.. After a few more time in the hospital she finally came back home But to talk about my miracle…… In my heart I was convince that I would never see my parents to come to see us here in my home 11 hours drive….. Because of her condition. She will never be the same. But she has kept her great sense of humour. But guess what. Last Friday I received a call from my dad he was in Montreal with his brothers and guess what with mom also. That made me almost felt on my bum. They took there time drive a bit and stop hear and there to relax and take an easy! Wow it took them 3 day to reach Gatineau. And to put a cherry on top of the cake they were here with us to celebrate our 6 wedding anniversary. So talk about a miracle I do believe a bout theme …They are still with us to day and they be leaving in a few days... I try to spoil theme every day we do nice stuffs together shopping restaurants and so on… so let me tell you that every day is fore me a blessing and a time to say tank you to that beautiful life…But deep in my heart I do know that it will be the last time that they signed in my guess book.. (Our tradition here at home. all visitors have to signed that book)But I will pressure it for ever( yes Pierre befort that you had ::evry one have to make a wishe....also hihihi! ) ….. That it… end of my novel….

Bye for now....
Lorraine ,,,,

Friendship is like a small sand of dust if you thing about it.

A small sand of dust on the beach ,is to me like a realisation of a tiny move toward a good friendship

It is also to me a state of mind that makes me feel important to my peers.
The smallest thing that can be done for some one that is close to me is a gratifications to my well been and a sensation of good accomplishment.
I do understand that for some people any gesture may significated nothing to there eye but I don’t really care. I still love them.
You can make a move and or a gesture that look important to your and be totally rejected. I do go trough that many times but even dough that hake my heart, I m learning to go over that without incidence from myself.
Very hard but do able (now) Not to aesy to remove the sand dust in my eyes!!!
But I try to change myself and I realise that it is in me.
I m full of sand dust; that need to be lift in the air by the wind of my friends.
I can’t resist going and helping them.
I do know now that many time friends don’t know how to manage your mountain of sand dust. And that make you feel like your are a sand castle mad preciously by the hands of your life and that the ocean may come and destroy by the reverse of a wave some day.
They also may which that would append and calm down that powerful wind of sand that irritated there eyes and trouble there life in any way. So little that it could be. Call that a friend !

But in your heart you look at them like if they were a wall of non sense but at the end you let the wind goes down and let them think that you are a sand castle even thought you steel love theme!

I hope that make a bit of a sense …….”\

Hey just feel like it today after a non sense of Saturday night were I learned that a friend had enough of my sand dust…….. After a good glace of wine and may be to many! Lllollll!
