Last Friday night I was invited to spend the night at Liz Dalton's place on Howe Island, a small island on the St Lawrence River. Liz and her husband Bill have just built a beautiful home on this island and I was keen to see how it had been finished. Shelly, Deidre & Dianne picked me up around 5.30 and we drove out in time to meet the others for appetizers and a few drinks. Little did I know what these girls had planned for me. Dianne and Shelly had conjured up a range of "genuine" Canadian costumes. Naturally, I was compelled to model them. I looked every inch the sexy Canadian Chick! (Really, I did!)
After dinner we settled around the table for gift sharing and stealing amidst general frivolity. Before we knew it, 2.00am had come around and we wearliy tumbled into bed.
Kingston has become almost our second home and we will miss everyone when we leave in a few short weeks. We are all trying to make the most of the time we have left in Canada. Our whole family has loved this experience and the memories we take home with us are precious!
