There was a moment on our honeymoon when I knew with an absolute certainty that I had married the perfect man. We were heading to the mountains (Jeffrey's great love beside me.) and I saw a town that was on the National Historic Register; the whole town. When I exclaimed over it, her took the exit and happily spent the entire day exploring it with me. You gotta love a man like that. <br /><br />May you and Todd have many more adventures - Hitchcokian, or not.Relyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-75476249751239752302011-08-25T09:54:52.844-04:002011-08-25T09:54:52.844-04:00i can't wait to read part ll. i love reading ...i can't wait to read part ll. i love reading your blog.chasing lightning bugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827256072196695717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-88510305549014899862011-08-24T22:40:16.304-04:002011-08-24T22:40:16.304-04:00Every year Mr O and I say to each other that we sh...Every year Mr O and I say to each other that we should visit Quebec and Montreal and Toronto...I have never been to any of them and dearly want to.

No wonder it was your parents' destination for their honeymoon!<br />The oldest North American restaurant is located there and we marveled at the Château Fronenac where we stayed on August 13-16 before leaving for Montréal. Look forward to your follow-up!<br /><br />Love to you,<br /><br />MarietteMariette's Back to Basicshttp://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-38915336468875872942011-08-24T04:52:07.039-04:002011-08-24T04:52:07.039-04:00Oh, it was such fun to take this trip with you, Gi...Oh, it was such fun to take this trip with you, Gigi...

Though maybe a bit of our Canadian charm had you adding it to a few sentences just for fun. So happy to hear you enjoyed Quebec and loved the creepy motel story (or was it a hotel?). No wonder I like you so much, we are both from French Canadian descent. In my reincarnated life I like to believe I started in France and then made my way to Canada. In fact I am sure of it-lol! Lovely, lovely to have you back, you were missed.
