What? I'm 56 today? NO WAY.

Yes way. How did that happen?

Here's little me with grandma Charlebois. I was born March 19th, 1956. St. Joseph's day.

My grandmother wanted my mom and dad to name me Josephine. 

Mom wanted NOTHING to do with that name.  

Thank you Mom. Not sure I would have lived up to that one.

Hope I'm wearing undies, lol.

 I remember this day. We were in Montréal, one of my favourite places to shop.

I thought I looked pretty hot in my sun glasses. I WANTED sunglasses, not a silly hat. 
Maybe I should have taken the hat now that I look at those bangs!!

 My table today.

 Awwww.... spring.

Cream puff cake from COSTCO. You must try it.

 The eclairs sit on a brownie type cake. You just pick the balls off and pop them in your mouth.

This makes me HAPPY. And before I forget. I wanted to say

 THANK YOU to FRANCY for your sweet comments. I would LOVE to

email you. Please email me?

Guess what came out today? The sun!! and the geese are flocking back to the river by the thousands.

That's my heart up there BTW. 

With the warmer weather, the river broke. 

OMG what a day. Check it out.

 After an hour, this happened.

Our road is gone. There is an iceberg and tree preventing the water to get to the creek.

We loss power. Had to hire a big back hoe to come and break the ice and take the 

massive tree out of the way. Our cottage is up on a hill, so no water in the basement.

All is back to normal. So much excitement, it was hard to contain myself.

Hopefully we won't have anymore SNOW. Not that we had a bad winter,

not at all, but gosh everybody is bragging about record temps, even in 

Wisconsin for crying out loud, 80!!! We reached 70 today.

But then it's only March 19th. 

I remember we ALWAYS had mounds of snow on my Birthday, ALWAYS, 

so I best be happy with what I've got right now.

 This is where Randy is taking me today.

 It's in Québec. We will take the ferry across, and be there in less than an hour.

 We have massages booked. It's a swedish thing. Hot baths outside with a

cold water fall (on the right). They say you have to do the hot and cold circuit thing to

truly enjoy the health benefits. Game on.  

 And dinner reservations,

 seats by the fire, and the BEST PART...

We get to eat and lounge around in our robes!!
 How "Claudie" is that???
(That's not us, they got paid to do that).

Adding some "pizzaz" to my Tiffany charm bracelet. It's becoming my "friendship" bracelet.

for being my friends.

BONNE FÊTE a MOI.

56 and counting.... the wrinkles ; -)

Now excuse me while I have a piece of my cake.
