Venise-en-Quebec




Mom wanted to get away to see the fall trees - and she's not keen on walking a lot. On Thursday a friend of mine informed me that she's renting a cottage by a lake and she was willing to bring us back an forth. I always wanted to have a cottage by water and wanted to know what it would be like to live in one so I got mom to agree and invited a couple of friends - the one who came ended up being charge of all 7 meals. The lake was fabulous. I got to see the sunny day and a rainy, windy day and water looked very different. We ended up playing 2 rounds of Scrabbles (Mom did quite well), 2 rounds of French version of Life (Getting married, having kids, buying house, losing money and facing other life obstacles etc.). And watched 3 movies. Food was also a major source of preoccupation.
