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 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.

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.
where your friends are waiting to read your posts!!
