-=> Quoting Jean Parrot to Nancy Backus on 08-25-08 10:29 <=-

 JP> Hello Nancy, I do think that I caught up to FIDO !
 JP>> Hello Nancy, I am trying to catch up to FIDO !

 JP> New line !
 
Well, GOOD on you... :)  I'm not quite there yet... ;0

 NB>> busy with life and wasn't monitoring or checking in at the BBS.  He
 NB>> said something about it being his "yearly check-in"
to see how things
 NB>> were going...  ;) 
 JP> Even when retired, get ready, one is busy with life even more
 JP> so that when gainfully employed.

Oh, I've seen that with lots of people... Now, me... I'm not now
gainfully employed (just busy with lots of people that OUGHT to pay me,
but can't, so they aren't even getting billed), so I can't even retire. 
At least hubby has a paying job... :)  And is almost to the age where he
can start drawing on his pension from his lifetime job, where they laid
him off too soon...  But, right... life only gets busier... not easier. ;)

 JP> It has been gorgeous for the last week and warm too, most
 JP> unusual here. Did you ever look up on a map where Kamouraska is ?

Yup.  I saw that you are probably about 5 hours away from where our camp
in the Adirondacks is, mostly east and some north... right on the river,
and just off the QEW.  I have a friend that lives in Quebec (city), and
some other friends from our church here in Rochester were just there to
help with English language camp that they put on there.  If I ever got
to do that, I wouldn't be that far from you there...  :)

 JP> Next year, I will have a word with Louise, not to schedule that
 JP> many guests here so we have a day or two where we could elope and
 JP> jump in the chaloupe to go fishing. Mind you, this time around the
 JP> WX was not that inviting except this last week and #2 daughter is
 JP> here with her trawley. Such is retired life.

No matter how you plan it, there's no guarantee that the WX would be at
all cooperative... that you just have to take as it comes..  ;)  Always
nice when it does cooperate.... :)

Looks like I'll finally get to spend some time at our camp for a long
weekend in September...  I wonder what the weather will be like for me. 
Hopefully nice enough, anyway... ;)
