GET IN THE VAN!!! We're going to MONTRÉAL




Well for some reason I can't find ANY pictures of Randy and Colt's delicious salmon dinner he made us. 
That's weird.
I took the girls to a local Karaoke bar that night.
Wendy sang, and she was sooooo good.
What a go Wendy.
 Good morning CC. 
Did you have a nice outdoor shower?
OUI? 
 The view in the shower. Cool huh?
 LOVE this picture of CC reading the LOVE note her husband left her in her luggage.

Where are you going girls? Can't I go with you?
PLEASE? PLEASE? 
No Tobby it's only the girls this week.
 OFF WE GO TO MY FAVOURITE 
CITY OF LOVE, 
MONTRÉAL.
 Video taping while driving, bad girl.
We stayed at this cute little Inn, 
AUBERGE BONAPARTE, 
 OLD MONTRÉAL.
Come on in.
And what does Julie say to do?
JUMP ON THE BEDS YAHOOOOO.
 So we did just what she said.
We jumped.
 And jumped
 And jumped
 And afraid to jump.
Original brick in our rooms from way back.
OUI 
 Our first LUNCH in Old Montréal.
The beautiful Jardin Nelson.
Scrumptious.


Our waitress was so delightful.
She was the first to sign our autograph books.

 A little ice cream girls?
Miss Bee and CC gossiping with the girls of Montréal.                                                                              

 Wendy's cold beer. 
LOVED the fact that it was a BLONDE beer.
 OH, there's our cute waitress.
 They make the doors BIG in Montréal don't they Julie?
The churches are spectacular.

 Who doesn't LOVE a bicyclette? 





 Now this was a weird exhibition.
Does this make me look fat? lol.
I was trying to do the Marilyn Monroe thing.
How fitting. A PINK calèche for us.
And the horse was pretty cute too.






CUTE 
Check out the party on the little balcony up there.
 OH BOY. 
Here's where it started to get out of control.
 We thought it would be fun to get henna tattoos.
 This was Wendy's SUMMER BREEZE tattoo.
 This was mine before I messed it all up and had to redo it on my leg.

That's better.
 This is Jeanne's.
 Miss Bee's tattoo ... 
Then someone HAD to be different, guess who?
Yup JULIE. She had "LISTEN" tattooed..
 She thinks she needs to "LISTEN" more and talk less. Hmmm

 Two hours later, it's getting dark now,
 we all have our tattoos.
 Wendy and Miss Bee had to keep their clothing AWAY from the tattoos till they dried. 
Well that was easier said than done. Wendy's smeared all over the place and poor Miss Bee's was everywhere in the morning, even on her fingers! 
WE LAUGHED SOOOO HARD, BUT IT WASN'T FUNNY WAS IT MISS BEE? 
She had to wear a scarf to hide the awful mess on her neck. OMG.
 But she kept her "southern" manners through it all.
 What a corner to have an apt.
 Julie and I want that one.
 And here is when we got totally SPOILED by the waiters.
They brought us free desserts, signed our autograph books, let us take pictures,
and truly didn't want us to leave.
Signing our autograph books. 
Our sparkly free desserts.
Shall we dance?
 They also bought us EACH a beautiful red rose from the rose lady that was walking by.
WHO DOES THAT??
 It's the city of , I told you.

 They all signed in their native tongue.


I know I'm a flirt, but that's ok.
No harm done what so ever.
Now onto the 
FOUNTAIN SCENE.
  Wherever Julie goes, we HAVE to jump into a  FOUNTAIN.


It was actually very nice. 
Especially when you're having a HOT FLASH.
Julie LOVES to twirl.
 Walking back to our little 
AUBERGE BONAPARTE

The lights were on, and we were tired.
Good night my friends.
See you soon for another 
GREAT DAY IN MONTRÉAL.

Good morning dear Claudie, I adore your post. WHEN did you have time to do this? Today! the last of our company left. Free at last. I am hammering away on my computer. I posted a bit for Blue Monday. Sally is finally home. She sure had a rough go.

This is a wonderful post about our time in Montreal. You captured the fun and the craziness perfectly. You are a great blogger Claudie. Please don't think about not blogging ever again. I absolutely love revisiting our fun through your post. Big happy Ha! here.

I hope your time in New York with Randy is wonderful. He deserves lots of attention after the week he had cooking for all of us. The most delicious food anyone could imagine. And pretty too. Randy Rocks and so do you!

Lots of people to visit and all day to do it! Life is GOOD!
I love you to pieces,
Jeanne xoxoxo

What a sweet post Claudie! You girls look like you had a ball! Love the picture of you in the pinkie carriage! Glad you like the tag. They seem to be the newest craze. Everyone is making them. I have a bunch I hang on a Halloween tree. One gal from Pa sent me one she made of the wicked witch of the west, with some black vintage lace. Sooo cool. It is so fun, fun to meet new people.

Love to you!

Our experience in Canada, at your place, in Montreal, in the fountainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn .... :) We left our THUMBPRINT on every place we went, and the entire trip and everywhere we went left it's HEART print on our HEARTS ~ Especially you, Ran, and the fam! And all the puppito's. Missin Tobby like mad......... LOVE YOU Sis~ xoxo, Your GA peach~
