The Gruezis are heading to Canada
🇨🇦 Well, just for the weekend. We’re going to Montreal for a night and then to Hatley in the Eastern Townships. We will be staying at the Inn made famous by Louise Penny in her book The Murder Stone. It’s a sweet spot on a lake and there is a pool and fishing. We hadn’t planned to get away, but my work is calm so we are seizing the day. I just got back from a few hours in the emergency room with my dear old Dad who fell and had a nasty gash on his head and an enormous hematoma on his wrist and hand. Looked like our trip was going to be off... Miraculously, Dad had no fractures and they put some staples on his head and we took him back to his AL and tucked him in. He’s very annoyed about the whole “inconvenience” but I think we all got off easy. So, Canada we will see you soon! |
I'm so glad your dad is okay. At his stage, it's very lucky he "got off easy".
Manoir Hovey on Lake Massawippi? Lucky you!!! The book is called A Rule Against Murder here, no matter what it's called, how fun to explore the inn through Gamache's eyes! Enjoy your weekend! |
I'm jealous! Have a fantastic time!
|
Bon Voyage from the insomniac! Glad your Dad is okay. |
Glad your Dad is ok. It must have been a scare for all of you. Your trip would be more perfect if you had her newest book to read but I think it's still a couple of weeks before it's published.
|
Have a wonderful time! |
Now you can practice your French. Have a great time.
|
Sounds like fun! Have a great time!! |
I’m glad your Dad is relatively ok and you can go. i think the title of the Penny book is a Rule Against Murder. Have fun! |
I am glad your father's fall wasn't more serious.
Have a great time in QC. This is a good summary of Penny-related things to do in the Manoir Hovey area. I think you'd enjoy seeing the abbey if you haven't been before. https://www.latimes.com/travel/la-tr...414-story.html |
I thought for a minute you had given up on the USA. I understand the trauma of having an elderly parent fall. My father at 97 fell off his bike and looked like a 6 year old with skinned knees and elbow. Have a great time.
|
So glad to hear your dad is OK but sad that you're not going to make it to Toronto on this trip! When I read your headline, I was already planning a Toronto GTG!
Have a wonderful time! |
Sounds like fun.

Moved to Canada board
|
Oh good grief. This isn’t for the Canada board. Sigh. Well - hello Canadian friends! |
Oh, well, hopefully you’ll get followed over here. It’s not a very active board. Echoing gtg, next time come to TO! Promise we won’t even talk about IQ45 unless you want to. |
hola gruezi~ next time maybe title your post "Gruezis on the move" or something like that... and maybe they'll leave you in The Lounge :-) where your friends are waiting to read your posts!!
|
Hahahaha! yes I DEFINITELY need to get to Toronto! I will put that in my travel queue for sure. I already know how to say it with 2 syllables not 3 ☺️ |
Sorry you were moved. Still jealous.
|
Found you! Happy to hear you could get away for some nice R&R. Hope it was restful and fun. But sorry to hear about your dad’s fall. Obviously that could have been much worse. |
