Happy 18th Birthday, Taylor!
I love that photo with Youppi, and also the photo of the grandma with the gun! Youppi is now with the Habs, btw.
Mr. Mackay, isn't it amazing how time flies? My sister just turned 18 last month, and I can't believe she's THAT old. I remember when she was a baby...she was born right before my 4th birthday.
God bless you,
LPP
that loft was always a great place to snipe from, or shine a certain lazer range finder off a certain persons head while he tried to do paperwork :)
Awesome collection of memories...
I can only add that it is amazing how quickly the years fly by...
Happy 18th Taylor...
Happy 18th, Taylor!
The pictures are great, Paul. Wonderful memories.
Oh there used to be a ballpark right here...(Frank Sinatra)I miss the Expos!!!!
Why did you have to post thet picture of Youppi?!?!?!?! It is a cute shot though....and Gramma with the gun...HILARIOUS!!!
One more thing...Happy Birthday Taylor!
One more: GO HABS GO!!!!

One more thing, you promised a story about a septic system.
Just a reminder!!!

I actually met Youppi on my one and only trip to Quebec. I went on a school trip and we went to see an Expo game...Mtl won, if I recall.
Very cute photo!!!
Goldwings,
Interesting...actually, NO FAIR...I never got to see an Expos game and I've lived here since I moved here in 1988...ooohhh, Friday it will be 20 years...and still not a citizen, thanks to bureacracy, but that's another story! That's my sister who commented, by the way, in case anyone around here doesn't know her.
God bless you,
LPP
Oh, if anyone sees Gayle around, please let her know that I just tried to access her blog and now I'm locked out of her cyberspace...I guess I wasn't one of the chosen ;) Is there a way to enter?!

Hebrews 11:1,
I had a really good time at the ball game...sad to say,but if you are only 20 years old, then I went BEFORE you were even born! LOL! Somewhere (???), I believe I even have a photo...
We'll let Gayle know that you would like to join her blog.
Blessings to you,
LPP, you are definately one of the chosen...any friends of Paul's are friends of mine...tho it's very scarey to say so!!! I need an email address tho to be able to add you....can you send me one?? I really don't want you blocked out and would love to have you on my very short list of readers...hope you get this message :)
Thanks Little Montreal Girl for reminding Paul about the septic system story....he's eventually going to have to cave and TELL US, right?!
Goldwings,
I'm 22...2 years makes all the difference, right ;) Just joking! I moved here 20 years ago.
Gayle,
I'll have to think about the e-mail....I have sooo many gmail accounts, it is CRAZY! but I will get back with you. Thank you for inviting me in.
Love and Prayers,
LPP
Hi LPP,
Even with the added two years, I still went to the Expo game before you were born!!! :)
I'm not as old as the owner of this blog, though!!! LOLOLOLOL!
I will also be praying for your dad.
God Bless!
