Saturday in Chateauguay, always makes me think of a song by the French singing group, think I'll put the youtube url on at the end of this blog...anyway, it's our usual place if we're not busy, and that's the boat ramp at the river. We sit under a lovely tree - the kind kids love to climb, it's old and beautiful and gives a wonderful shade.
The boaters never disappoint, it's better than a movie, watching the problems of these huge motor boats, small seadoos, houseboats, pontoon thingies, or motorized row boats, it's always fun - today's super duper speed boat, a beautiful white and red job, going in; the truck practically stalled up to its fenders in water, but at last managed to pull itself out...but the boat was in wrong; so all was lost, and they had to go through the procedure 3 times, finally gave up and took off ...mac made me laugh when he said, well thank god, those 2 cyclists are just dying to get in there. Mac's interest never flags, I read - look up when the comments get too loud..or when as happened today things go all ass backwards.
So at the end of our walk which was about 3 k. today, I was ready for a dip in Valerie's pool, and we were both so keen to see our darling g.grandchild Finley, who can hardly wait to laugh and smile at us, she's ready - even before we start our antics... what a doll.
Then when we were home we reminised about the days when we had our first little baby, Leslie. mac said well Brie and baby are off to a B.B.Q eh..did we go to BBQ's, i said - i remember when les was around Finleys age (6 mos) we used to go to watch baseball in kent park in Cote des neiges on Saturdays..asked him if he remembered, - vaguely...
I said, remember the day you were so thirsty on the way home from a game, we went into a depanneur to buy something to drink. We had 25cents between us - and you saw a new product Freshee, 5 cents a pkg, it made 24 oz or something like that if one added sugar.. i'll never forget your constant refrain about how wonderful it was - so cheap and so good (it came before koolaid) I preferred water to that..but those were the days. We only had 25 cents, but we didn't worry, we were happy 5cents a pkg..wow. Mac said believe it or not, I still love stuff like that, but somehow now prefer wine - when I can have a choice. Which at this time is only on weekends. oh well we're still happy it's the weekend yay.
