Tales from the Bush in Quebec

Not very far, but still… Since October, not long after my son’s transfer, he and his little family have been sharing my home, living in the basement apartment, but not really; most of the time we were all upstairs in the kitchen/dining area. It was a bit hard on the three doggies at the beginning.... Sign in to see full entry.

This lady is very, very tired. The workplace is tense – the partners have been fighting for a good six months and are only speaking through lawyers now.

Mommy, Sam and Eli I noticed that Eli stares at our youngest Rug rat whenever they are in the same room, and that she lowers her head when she hears his voice from anywhere in the house.
