Denis hopped in the car and drove from Maine to Quebec to pick up our son, Daniel, and granddaughter, Kiev. He spent one night in Quebec and they were on the road at 3AM the next morning for the drive back. It was a very special bonding time with Kiev, she's now a little over 2-years old and we enjoyed the visit very much.

After a week's visit, we all piled into the coach and drove back to Quebec. We found that staying one night in Jackman, ME is a perfect half way stop instead of driving the 6-hours straight through. If you've never stopped at Jackman, you should. With a population of around 900 there's not a whole lot there but people come from all around for fishing, ATVing and boating. I think it's worth the stop to have a pulled pork sandwich at Bishop's Store.

| Kloe is such a little cutie |
We spent a few nights at Daniel's visiting with our new granddaughter, Kloe. Poor little thing is having gastro issues and is not feeling very well.
Denis and I took a nice drive to the island of Orleans and had lunch by the water. It was a beautiful day of walking, shopping and eating.

| We shared a plate of pesto pasta and watched the boats go by - the wine menu had a bottle of wine for $1200 WOW |
Now we are back in Massachusetts at Aunt Donna's driveway for a week or so. This is Big E time and we like spending a day at the exposition but we're waiting for this heat spell to stop. This is our last chance to visit with friends and family before heading south for the winter.

Friends Brett & Jessica (middle) had us and their pastor over for a very nice dinner - They just bought a new home and
wanted to share with us their blessings |
That'll catch you up on what we've been up to. Thanks for stopping in to say hi and God Bless.
Nice to spend some time with family and the grands, they grow up so fast !
