It's "Kebec", not "Kwebec"

By
We have been in Quebec (pronounced “Kebec” not “Kwebec”) for about the last 6 days. The first thing I have to bring to your attention immediately is how BIG Ontario and Quebec really are! I mean, seriously, if you haven’t looked at a map in a while, pull one out right now and really take a look. Secondly, since getting through Ontario and now having driven through Quebec, there are NO bugs… Now this may SEEM great, but I don’t think it is. Our windshield has been basically clean since we left Winnipeg. Now I hate mosquito bites as much as the next person, but we all have to admit it takes ALL things to make the world go ‘round… Thirdly, we have noticed more smoking! I cannot say for sure that they ACTUALLY have more smokers than the west, but we are sure noticing a lot more people lighting up in general. I think I speak for everyone in the family when I say Quebec has been wonderful. The campground we stayed at in Montreal was about an hour from down town. We haven’t known much a...

The last time...

As I was putting things away in the pantry this evening, I was washed over with the memory of Oma's schnitzel. Everything about it was delicious to me; the colour, the taste, texture, familiarity.  It was good hot or cold.  As her and Opa's health was declining--when they still lived in the house at 53 Nagel Avenue--I made darn sure to study the technique to I could in fact make schnitzel just like her.  And I think I mastered it.

Shake the Dust Off

By
*shake the dust off* Well, look who's here! It's me! Who knew? It's been so long since I've done a blog post and I thought now is the perfect time to blow the dust off the ole computer keys and get reacquainted. I know a few of you may have followed some of my posts years ago, and many of you reading this will likely be new to me and who I am. Let me reintroduce myself 🙋 I am Jeanette Macleod, of the Clan Macleod and yes, there can be only one. Give yourself a pat on the back if you got that 90's tv reference! Anywho, I'm in my late 30's 😨 and have two redheaded daughters. I'm happily married to Kevin since 2008 and we are beginning a pretty adventurous adventure... As the story goes... before Christmas a good friend of mine texted the celebratory news that she was going to be GETTING MARRIED!! How cool is that?! THEN she asked if I would be a bridesmaid! Whoa Nettie! 37 years old and asked to be a bridesmaid?? I thought my ship had sailed, but...
