Montreal for Dummies

That seemed to be the theme of the weekend. My mother and I headed out to visit my aunt and uncle in St. Felix de Kingsey in Quebec. About an hour and a half the other side of Montreal. The trip is great, all told is about 9 hours drive. Getting thru Montreal is a pain in the ass. There is no good time to drive thru it.... unless its 3am. All the traffic signs are of course not in English..... the cars whip in and out in front of you, you need to have eyes in the back of your head while its on a swivel. So mother and I joked that we would write a book called Driving thru Montreal for Dummies.. as we had made up our own meanings of what the words meant on some of the signs.....

Otherwis e it was a nice weekend. It had been a few years since seeing my family down there. We even visited my 86 year old great aunt.. who told us some pretty interesting stories about the family..

I was hoping that Calf patrol would work out this trip, but the calves are about a week late now... so hopefully there is nothing wrong...

My aunt n uncle ( now my cousin) run a 40 plus head dairy farm... Some of Canada's best moo juice comes from Ferme Beardson....

This weekend i will be up north visiting ma.. before i hunker down for the summer and work my ass off.... My new job starts Monday... Woohoooo
