C’est mon frére Dave. When you visit St. Eusebe you can expect Food, Fun and Family—and lots of ALL three! I chatted about food yesterday…so let’s have a look and fun & family.
Dave and his wife Brigette live in rural Quebec. We took the Kubota out to the camp to sleep—no light pollution out there….visited with the horses, dogs, cats, chickens,fish…. kayaked down his river—yes, he actually has a river…enjoyed campfires in the old propane tank…took the sports car for a spin…rode a ferry across the second largest lake in Quebec (Lac Témiscouata)…watched NASCAR (Wallace won)…ALL in two days and ALL between eating, eating and more eating. Tons of family live near by and pop over on their ATV or e-bike. Fresh bread magically appears from Brigette’s Mom, potatoes arrive from the garden, and someone is always picking more ground cherries. My brain swirls as French zings around at lightening speed. I translate what I can catch for Ray and everyone is so kind to include English to help us out. You need to be willing to make mistakes to become fluent in a language and I’ve definitely made my share of mistakes in the last couple of days. I encourage you to take a risk….maybe text someone in French. Michael, my nephew and local expert, filled me in on a couple of the texting short forms they use here in Quebec. Try these out: MDR (Mort de rire—which roughly translates to « laughing to death ») & QD9 (Quoi de neuf—which roughly translates to « what’s up?l ») We headed off to the Gaspesie this morning with a fresh gallon of maple syrup and a block of maple sugar. Huge hugs and thanks to ALL my Quebec family. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

Bonjour de FSF 1D! Nous aimons les crocs que vous portez dans le photo avec ton frere. La classe pense que vous devez les jibbitz (ils sont les decorations pour les crocs). Ici c'est le site d'Amazon avec quelques idees:
