The Equity

Ok, now you can all click on the link to the right side, The Equity, newspaper. That will get you to the local news in The PONTIAC region of Quebec. For all you cottagers that don't get up there so often.

Hockey Country

So, my first (this year) LIVE Ottawa Senators game will be on September 25th. A pre-season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

But...more exciting news, is the fact that I get to go to the home opener against the Buffalo Sabres on October 8th. I thank my buddy Mark and also to his buddy Cam for getting great seats to the first game, CHEERS!

Killarney Park

My brothers are on their 3rd day of camping at Killarney Park. I am very jealous, because I have to WORK! And that is one park that I want to get to, so I can do some Kayaking on Georgian Bay. Any way, hope you are having fun.

First Day of School

Today is September 6th and the first day of school.

I know some grade 3's that are NOT looking forward to that. I also know one grade 3 student that is excited but a little nervous to this morning. Well, she had a great day! I hope all your children had a wonderful and safe day.

Dinner at the cabin

Thanks to Tod, Kathy and Dylan for supper on Saturday night. It was delicious! Dylan's in September photos.

PS - Can't beat the Pinball wizrd!

Stompin Tom

So the rumour was, 40,000 people were to hit the Shawville fair to catch Stompin' Tom (they don't need the Rolling Stones up there). Well, I don't think they hit 40,000, but I heard it was close to 35,000. That's a lot of stompin' going on in the beer tent!

Happy Anniversary OMA & OPA

Monday September 4th was Pat & Gerry's 10th anniversary, many congratulations!

August has ended

Not much too write about this week.

Thanks to the Bellantoni's for having Sarah over for a birthday gathering. "Happy Birthday to Santana!"

Thanks to my buddies for dinner tonight, it was delicious, sorry I had to leave early!!!

I threw a couple of new photos in the August Photo's from last weekend, and created Septembers Photo's (nothing there yet). The EX is over, August is over, NFL is starting soon, my tickets arrived in the mail yesterday for SENS vs LEAFS (pre-season)...So summer is ended and HOCKEY begins!
