A "nothing" day
The day was beautiful, sunny and not too cold. Not even windy a bit. Yet, no Freeman today. Surely, he must have seen my Mann departure last night. And the smoke out of the cheminee this morning. Yet, no Freeman today. Is he gone visiting his brother? Is he gone to his shack somewhere north of here?...

Egyptian IMAX movie, a résumé
So, we finally went to see the Egyptian Mummies IMAX movie! There was also a temporary exhibit about Egypt and mummies in the Museum and as we were a bit early for the movie, we went to see it. It was a rather well done exhibit, with all kind of little bits of info that we didn't know. Such as; Did...

Snowshoeing in the gentle snowfall
Finally, yesterday, instead of going to the movie, we decided to go showshoeing in the fields and in the forest on our land. As the forest is boarded on one side by a road and on the three others by fields, it is almost impossible to get lost and therefore great fun to just go anywhere you feel...

Résumé of New Year's eve!
We had a great time! Some friends and their kids arrived at about 6:30pm for diner and stayed with us until past midnight, while others arrived just a few minutes before midnight, just on time for the Moët et Chandon! My Mann was pleased with the duck and the pie and the company! Funnily enough, he...

The "in-between" feeling
I feel like I'm waiting for something. You know, as if I was in between projects and couldn't really make my mind about what to do? I know that I should be writing for trazzler.com (even if they don't give me a cent it's a good way to be known), and I'm still writing articles about Germany and...

Quick visit to Québec city
We're back from Québec city! It was fun: the first day after arriving, we went to slide in the biggest, highest, sliding slopes ever! With big rubber tubes (like inside tires) but also with a zodiac (rafting on snowy slopes) and a round kind of zodiac that turns and turns until you are dizzy from...

See you soon..
Hallo All! Just a short note to let you know that I think the exam went well (although it was more administrative language than true English!), I finished baking the goodies and making the chocolate truffles (all sold out and could have sell more!!), I have not seen Freeman since Monday (hopefully...

This old man...he came back...
Oh Well, it couldn't last, I guess. He must have seen my Mann leaving last night and decided that it was now "safe" to come and see me this afternoon. Yep you guessed right: Freeman. He came to see if I was alright and where was I last week? And if I could bake a pie for him. He had bought it from a...

Alcoholic Wild Turkeys!
It's day 2 and still no Freeman. It may be that he thinks it is my Mann that drove by Friday night as I was driving my Mann's car. In any case, I don't mind having a break from the grumpy old man. On another subject: there are wild turkeys in the trees by the window. One in particular seems to like...
