Recapturing The Past

Feeling a little nostalgic lately, I dug out some old photo albums and started scanning some photographs. One of them was of my high school trip to Europe, circa 1988. Here are a couple of photos from that trip...

This was taken down the hill from the Sacré Coeur Basilica, Montmartre in Paris France. There was a carousel there which I understand is still there today.

This next photo was taken in an alley somewhere in Paris. I wish I had taken notes, but according to the sequence in my photo album, it would have to be in Paris. I love this one:

I'd love to go back some day with my family.

Mother's Day 2011

Sunday, May 8th 2011 we celebrated Mother's Day at my parents' house for supper. One would think a son would invite his mother over to his house for supper, but in this family it seems to be a tradition we go over there for a lobster feast. It also happens to be my birthday in a few days, so we kind of have a double-celebration.
This year I got my mom a gift certificate from Café Archibald, a cozy little European Bistro in Moncton and Dieppe. Instead of buying an expensive card, I decided to unleash my inner 9 year-old and coloured on the enveloppe. Haha! That is so not me. I don't know, but maybe getting older makes me want to reach out to my youth. So here's my little doodle, mom...
