Breakfast and three cheers

Sabrina made us breakfast this morning. I got up to the sweet smell of Belgian waffles cooking in the toaster. A nice spread of maple syrup just complimented the waffle with perfection. I'm so proud of my  girl.

That's my girl:

How many kids get excited...

When in front of fruits. Suzanne just came back from Costco with a platter of fruits amongst all things (for snacks and fruities). When Mathieu saw this he was excited and yelled to Sabrina to come up which she did.


Today I cleaned the pool. It's almost ready to go. Here's what's left:



We had a great supper.



Everyone ate really well. We also had wine, the one I believe to be my favourite of all time:



When the kids were sleeping I went to have a second supper with Max. We had a nice time, I enjoy the few hours I spend with my son.

Pesky viruses; Good bye Micheline; Pinocchio

Micheline Masse
My mom told me that her best childhood friend, Micheline, passed away a few days ago. She is a sweet person, very kind and so is her husband Raymond. They are nice people and I will miss her. The last time we saw them was two years ago (I believe) at mom's birthday party.



LEFEBVRE, Micheline (née Masse)
Parution: 2012-04-28 au 2012-04-28 dans La Presse - 2898622
Lefebvremicheline (née Masse) À la Cité de la santé de Laval, le 24 avril 2012, est décédée micheline Lefebvre, née Masse, épouse depuis 53 ans de Raymond Lefebvre. Elle laisse dans le deuil sa fille unique, Brigitte (Me Jean Lorrain), sa petite fille adorée, Véronique et le père de cette dernière, Gaétan Faucher. La pleurent aussi, ses amies d’enfance qu’elle aimait tant. Un moment de recueillement aura lieu le mardi 1er mai au Complexe funéraire Alfred Dallaire Memoria, 2159 boul. St-Martin Est, Lavalwww.memoria.ca entre 16h et 20h. Des dons à la Fondation québécoise du cancer ou la Fondation de la Cité de la santé de Laval - soins palliatifs seraient appréciés.

Death is fair since life is free. Doesn't make it easier on the living. My condolences to her loving family and to my mom (L).

Virus
Mom tells me I sent her a virus last night (a trojan horse). I have to know about it because my computers are equipped with virus checkers (yes I know I have Macs, but I trust nothing). So I got to know. I figured out that my yahoo account had been hacked. People were logging in from all over the world on it. Changing the password should solve the issue.

Pinocchio
This afternoon we went to see Pinocchio at the Centaur theatre from tickets that were offered by Bishop's Alumni. It was an amazing play. It was modern, fresh, had great idea, was long enough for kids not to get bored. Amazing. Mathieu and Sabrina really loved it. This play is just Wow. Beats Chicago that I saw in New York.




We walked a bit around old Montreal today. We just had a great time.

We had sushi from Zendo tonight, finally a good place to eat sushi on the South Shore. I'll never be South Shore, but at least we've found sushi we can stand. The wine, while good was without personality

Someone came to the door asking for money for kid's cancer. She had a sad story about her kid dying. The thing is, we literally give thousands of dollars to a kid's cancer foundation and Suzanne is quite involved in one particular foundation, yet she felt somewhat guilty for not giving any money because we just don't do this.
