It has literally been a couple of decades since I've been there, and now I am sad about that. Of course I have the power to change that. I had a copper washing kettle which we kept next to fireplace for logs and kindling. Alas, the bottom was falling out and I didn't bring it with me when I moved south.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-51784508557866311962016-06-16T09:33:05.193-07:002016-06-16T09:33:05.193-07:00A wonderful chance to revisit Montreal - thank you...A wonderful chance to revisit Montreal - thank you! I was able to see some of it last October, even going on a bus/walking tour (something I usually don't do), which turned out to be fascinating, especially since I had the chance to more or less test my knowledge by retracing much of it with friends the next day. I would love to return and see how much I retained. And I very much like the photo of you and Duchesse - you both look charmingly informal and happy!<br />Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035642478179187618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-69775264869901442802016-06-16T09:32:22.498-07:002016-06-16T09:32:22.498-07:00Fantastic pictures!

I had the pleasure of two brief visits to Montreal when Adam was at McGill, so I was introduced to the city through the eyes and experiences of a student. I loved it! I also did one of my famous trip-and-fall escapades in the rain, at night, in front of a fancy restaurant with windows right at street level for a good view of my embarrassing moment. My son and my ex were very helpful, but as they say, pride goeth before a fall- or something like that- and my pride wenteth! ���� How wonderful to meet up with a friend and then to do it all over again in Ottawa. I will be heading to Ottawa in August to visit Adam, Rekha and my three youngest granddaughters. Can' t wait! Enjoy your much deserved holiday!

From family history research I discovered my great grandfather was born there. I am curious to know what brought my great great grandfather to Montreal to work in the late 1860's!

Didn't you love the stories of Mordecai Richler, Gabrielle Roy and Michel Tremblay? There's street art! And wrought iron balconies,people, cafés! I've never felt uncomfortable<br />in Montréal but I think that in earlier days it really was a tale of Two Solitudes. You<br />both look lovely.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.com
