March...in like a lion!

Amy's first outing - Maharajah restaurant, Montreal

Well how totally wrong could my prediction be about a green March? It started snowing on the 28th of last month and hasn't stopped since - we must have over  a foot and a half down already. But rain and warm temperatures is forecast for the next few days so it looks like a trip to the cabin later in the week might be in order. This is the last week that Cesar will be spending in Montreal as he flies back to Mexico City on the 5th. I imagine he is getting a bit homesick now and eager to see his kids and resume his morning walks in the park across from his house. Hopefully he will be able to come up later on in the year when the weather is hot. Rosalia will be staying on for a few more weeks helping out Phil and Fernnanda with the baby. Amy is growing like the proverbial weed and doing very well. Fer baked a cake to celebtate her first month and as you can see by the photos Amy is now a chubby and healthy little girl! Meanwhile we continue to renovate, rewire, replace and repair here in our duplex - Phil redoing the laundry room in the basement and Marie and I putting in electrical plugs, wall heaters and trying to solve a recurring problem with water pressure in the bathroom shower. Its a fact of life that upkeep never ends in an old building. Hopefully when we leave here and are long departed some part of us will remain in what we have accomplished! I think what we do here reflects on how we approach life in general...for they who love an old house never love in vain....gws
