The Perfect Weekend in Rouyn-Noranda with Charles
Written on 2:21 p.m. by My gratitude journal
My brother came to visit me for the first time in Rouyn-Noranda this weekend. The weather was fantastic and we made the most of it. Here is how it went:
Friday - Chuck's arrival and dinner at St-Hubert
- Live music by two talented musicians
- Good food
- Funny waiter who gave us jokes material for the rest of the weekend
Saturday - Trekking and sightseeing at Parc d'Aiguebelle
- Here are some pictures from Daiguebelle in late Fall just to give you an idea of the place. I'll post the pictures we took when they're developped.
The weather was perfect for a day at Daiguebelle, we had a nice picnic on top of the memorable stairs and enjoyed the view...A very ambitious ant carried a huge piece of ham away in front of us and we waived and responded to a group of people from the other side of the lake (yes, as narrow as it looks, the water at the bottom is a lake, not a river!)
Peter, Normand, Hugo, Yes and I are now making plans to rent a cottage at d'Aiguebelle in August.
You can see a picture of the suspended bridge wehad to cross... The view from it was fantastic and I can' wait to see the pictures we took there.
Charles even said it'd be the perfect place to organise bungee jumping!
The night continued with a 'raclette' dinner at my place... Needless to say 9 wine bottles for 6 people was an ambitious challenge! (No, we didn't drink all the bottles, mom!)
Sunday - Crystal Beach
- Natural spring water from an Esker (clear as crystal!)
- Beautiful long beach of approx. 1Km width of nice soft sand
- Lots lots of bikinis for the boys' lurking pleasure
- This would be the perfect location for scuba diving or at least snorkling... Will Charles be tempted to return?
- The night was complete after a dinner at restaurant Le Merlin and viewing Cinderella Man at the movie theater.
- Normand organised a Poker night for the boys.
- 5$ to participate
- Charles won (put 5$ in and left with 20$). Woohoo! way to go!
Brian @ CSC and USA Grand Nationals
Written on 11:14 a.m. by My gratitude journal
Last weekend, the All Bal Team(ABT) got the first position (#1) at the Canadian Swing Championships (CSC) in St-Sauveur.
This weekend, the ABT headed to Atlanta for the GRAND NATIONALS and won the second place (#2). Yeah Baby!!! That's what I'm talking about!
I want to congratulate all the dancers for their hard work and perseverance.
Despite his practice time with The Jello Shots and his full-time engineer job, my boyfriend Brian is a member of the All Bal Team and just came back with honours from Atlanta yesterday. I am very proud of him.
I guess he deserves a good beer from everyone... or at least a tap on the back! Come celebrate with us at the Jello Bar on Monday June 6th!

My boyfriend's father has studied the wonders and benefits of apple cider vinegar for some time and we were discussing it lately. I think it's totally fascinating all you can get from one product.
Did you know...
Since 400BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, and others, have used vinegar and vinegar mixed with honey, as an energizing tonic and a healing elixir
Apple cider vinegar can be used for:
-hair care
-weight loss
-pet care
-horse care

A Strong Man
Written on 11:19 p.m. by My gratitude journal
My grand father is a very strong man and he scared us a good deal today.
He was in a ladder on the roof of his 2 floors cottage, trying to fix something when a part of the roof on which he was attached fell/broke. The ladder fell with him under. When my grandmother found him he was under the trailer (god knows how the fall carried him there) and trying to get up because he didn't want her to call an ambulance...
After several protests, he convinced her not to call and he returned to finish his job with his son. A couple of hours later he fell unconscious. My aunt called the ambulance and they brought him to the hospital to take x-rays and keep an eye on him for the night.
The X-rays showed no fracture. He only has a big bruise on his buttocks.
A tough man he is...
