After 9 days in Montreal it was unfortunately time to return to the property and resume work on the house. Christina and Sarah came over the last night for supper - Isabelle had to stay home with Patrick with strep throat - and Marie made a delicious lasagna supper. I felt bad about leaving little Amy who has grown quite attached to me but we will see them again later in January when we go back to pick up the rest of the furniture from the duplex. On our way we stopped in the little town of Brigham, near Farnham, and picked up our little caniche Emmanuelle de Brigham! She is a red toy poodle born on October 25th to parents Mandy and Red King and as you can see by the photos an adorable little thing. So now we are safely back on the mountain, after a long slow drive in deplorable weather and road conditions from the time we crossed the Champlain Bridge and ready to face another 3 months of winter. The days are now getting longer so we have to keep a brave face and count our blessings! This will be the last post for 2012 so I will again take this opportunity to wish everyone good health, prosperity and peace in 2013. gws
