One of my dearest friends Gaetane moved up to Sturgeon Falls last year and Melanie and I knew that one day we would need to make the trip up there to visit them and share in fun times... like we used to!
Melanie was an awesome co-pilot with her aviator shades, maps and iPod and DJ'ing skills.
After a short 5 hour trip (I had to stop every 2 hours to pee) we made it up to their wooden chalet style home in the countrty. But guess what, there are no falls... only when the dam releases it's water???
Gaetane and I worked together for 5 years and develop an instant friendship and sisterhood. I love her and miss her dearly.
And Melanie has developed a nice friendship with Nicolas - her son (middle) since she was 5 years old. Here they are with Nicolas' friend in their giant garden- they have huge land.
Here they are in their nicely renovated kitchen with their cute little grandson who now lives only a few minutes away.
This is the awesome benefit of living in the country. The outdoor clothesline!
The other benefits of living on this vast land in the country... they are growing their own French vegetables - some 'Carotte'...
...some 'bettraves'
... and some 'tomates'. What an awesome change of pace for them and for us visiting them from the big city.
