My Montreal Weekend***




Hi everyone*** I just arrived back from my long weekend away in Montreal visiting my friend Monica.. We have known each other for over 30 years and always try to visit at least once a year.
I also had the wonderful pleasure of seeing Lilly and Andrea, two of Monica's sisters... We spent the weekend on the family farm in Brome County.

The weather was horrible so we spent the majority of the days cooking, eating FABULOUS food, drinking great wine, talking, talking and talking some more...


Lilly was always the Chef de Cuisine!!






Here she is icing the Buttercream cake... 7 layers!!!
I cut the cake for her... It was very stressful!!


















Three of the five Schaefer sisters...
Monica, Andrea and Lilly!!

Monica and Andrea...



Me*** cutting the cake into as many layers as I could!!!
It was yummy!!






Setting the table for dinner!
We had a fabulous weekend...
No TV, no cellphones, no computers***
Just lots of good conversation, lots of laughing and memories made!
