Quebec Vacation

Just came back yesterday from a short trip to Quebec to see Mom..It was a long drive there in back over 4 and a half days one way , the same to come back.. We were able to stay in Metis beach, Quebec where Mom's summer house is for 10 days...I wish it could have been longer..We mostly spent the day working on Mom's house, Spending time at the sea shore having nice fires at night time..It was great..We drove to Pointe au Pere, to visit a submarine..It is hard to beleive they had 70 crew men in this small of a space...I don't think i couldhave done that.. It was interesting,, For this vacation / work week, It was me, Andrew, Christina with KAel, Jennifer and We picked up Cayliegh in Thunder Bay, Ontario..on our way there.. So she spent some time with us.. and hopefully had a nice visit...Andrew finished the job in Regina and was off for a month.. He has received an e-mail from Wright Construction, they want him to go back to Regina for a short project..They are sending the info ..I am not sure if he will take it.. AS he is tired of working away from home..It wouyld be so nice if he could get something closer..We will see.

Christina is geting ready to go back to school in September..She is a bit nervous about it..I will be watching Kael when she is in Lethbridge doing her LPN course..I am sure she will do fine..She is a smart girl and she can do anything she set het mind to..

Brian is going at sea for 8 weeks.. somewhere around Mexico.. He is a bit worried about Ruth being by herself with the kids..He has been on paternity leave for 9 months..So they have been doing things together since the twins were born..and now he has to go..So I will be on standby, ready to go visit her and help if the need arise..

JJ and his family moves to Thunder Bay..He has a job with Wright Construction to do there.. for about a year.. They should have fun.. It will be different experience for them and should be great.. except for the packing and moving part..Nobody likes to do that...Cayleigh wil be starting grade 1.. Such a busy girl.. I hope she will like her new school and make tons of friends..

Jennifer is trying to decide if she is going back to work with Andrew and doing her upgrading thrudistance learning or if she will enroll at the college in Lethbridge to get it done.We will have to see for her final decidion..

I had a great tiem with mom..I just wish she lived closer..I did not get the chance to go visit my dad or other realatives except for the one close to Mom'd house..There was too much to do at ther place.. Andrew says we will go back next year and help her to do more..She can't find any competent worker over there.. SHe had nephew to help.. but she ended up paying for work that had to get redone.. As it was not done properly and safely..JJ will be trying to go there to to do a bit when he has a week off..

I think for next year we need to rent a place for an evening and invite all the realtives over to come and visit..Like a family reunion,,that way i would have just 2 places to go ..one in QUebec city and the other by mom's place..and hopefully that way I could see at least some of the family..We will have to see if it is possible..

I am happy to be home even If there is a lot to do..The gras is about a foot long... and we have things to do before Jack Frost pokes his nose in our part of the wood..I will let you know how we are doing soon..
