A foodie’s guide to Old Quebec
Well, this is my version of a foodie’s guide. Neither Ken nor I are foodies. Sure, Ken loves his donuts and I love my sweets, but I’m not really into food. It is funny when we told people that we were going to Quebec City, everyone said, “Oh that’s great. You will love all the […]
Quaint streets in Old Quebec
August 3, 2023
Old Quebec is made for walking. I just love exploring a new city by foot and seeing the sights. Here is right outside our flat on Rue St. Anne. Here are more street scenes from Rue St. Anne. I just love the red umbrellas; it makes everything look so festive! Another main street is Rue […]
Beautiful churches in Old Quebec
July 20, 2023
Old Quebec is filled with beautiful, old churches. There are lots of churches in Old Quebec, which is not surprising, given the French and English history. The largest, and perhaps the most famous is the Notre-Dame de Quebec Basilica Cathedral. It is the main church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec. It is the […]
Basse-Ville Old Quebec
July 5, 2023
Beautiful Old Quebec overlooks the St. Lawrence River. The lower town, known in French as “Basse-Ville,” is the original, older part of town. Basse-Ville has undergone many iterations through the years. It was home to the working class people of Old Quebec, but then fell into decline. Rebuilding started in the 1970’s and this area […]
What is your happy place?
June 7, 2023
I have a few happy places; kayaking of course, and playing with chipmunks. I also love to exercise. Cathe Friedrich is one of my “go to” exercise gals. I was so happy when she came out with her latest program, STS 2.0. STS stands for shock training system. It is a way to mix up […]
Bonjour Quebec
May 31, 2023
Mr. Ken and I are slowly emerging from our hermit state due to Covid. We are going to Quebec City, Canada later this summer. We can’t wait. We were originally scheduled to go in 2020, but then Covid hit. Canada and US shut their borders. Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in Canada. […]
It’s kayak time – yay!
May 17, 2023
I am so happy that it is kayak time. For the past two years, our kayaking has been limited. In 2021 I had shoulder surgery, so no kayaking that season. In 2022, Mr. Ken broke his wrist, so our kayaking started late. God willing, we will have no injuries this year and will get in […]
Coronation Party
May 10, 2023
So, did you guys watch the coronation of King Charles III? As an American, I really don’t get the idea of a monarchy. I couldn’t see myself bowing to anyone, even a king or queen. That being said, I am quite the Anglophile and love all things British, including the monarchy. I told myself that […]
Misleading marketing
May 3, 2023
I consider myself an educated consumer, but I am still learning things. So I recently had blood work done and had my cholesterol checked. The cholesterol numbers were NOT good. And this in spite of the fact that I exercise a lot and eat kale. 🙂 I shouldn’t be since I have a family history […]
