Golden Ave residence
Just got back from a couple of days in Ottawa, reviewing projects with my partner, Grant. Here is a photo of our first project nearing completion.
main course
Just took this photo of my lunch as proof that I am eating my veggies while Ann is away..... never mind that this lunch was served at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Last week J came to visit while on his way to PEI. Here he is showing LL the finer points of Canon in D.

three little monkeys
It was a long weekend for everyone outside of Quebec so Grant and Michelle brought their kids N and W much to LL's delight. We picked up some smoked salmon from New Victoria (Victoria and Linton) which our friend Jennifer first introduced us to a number of years ago. I will have to remember to get some more when the parents come to town next, because this is some of the best smoked salmon we've ever had. Grant et al. arrived in time for lunch so we had fresh St. Viateur bagels with smoked salmon and then headed to the water park while LL napped. Luckily the humidity broke and Sunday was not so unbearably hot. After dinner (see next photo) we headed out for Ice Cream on St. Viateur. For whatever reason the Ice Cream place was closed (again) so we headed down to Fairmount for Gelato.
biodome
Today there were severe thundershowers so we headed to the Biodome with the kids and packed a little lunch. After that Grant and co. headed back to Ottawa. Thanks for the visit guys!
bejeesus
I was leaning on the railing taking photos of some monkeys off in the distance when two monkeys came scurrying down the length of the railing and over my arm scaring the bejeesus out of me. Here's one of them.

Oka
On the weekend Ann organized a camping trip just outside of Montreal (Oka). It was faaaantastic. Nice beach (packed with people) with soft sand (gently sloping), a quiet camping spot a short walk to the beach, and no mosquitoes! (The no mosquito thing sealed the deal for me.) We left a couple of items in our kitchen (coleman stove and bread) but managed to find an Amway matchbook in our car (perhaps left from the car's original owners- Care to confirm that SAHM?). On our way home- stopped to pick up some local corn, raspberries, strawberries, pie and good ol' Tim's. Decided to pass on the cheese on this trip. Anyways, looking forward to another trip there soon!
ps. If you go to Oka, be warned that strangers that you strike up conversations with will inevitably leave their 2-year olds with you to watch over. This seemed to happen each time we went down to the beach. The first time, the dad was at least somewhere on the beach. The second time a mom decided to go back to her campsite. Of course after a few minutes her little boy began to wonder where his family was so I ended up carrying him off the beach, across the parking lot and to the campsites.
