Well, if you are wondering where the tourists are, you have only to go to southern Quebec and cross over into New Brunswick and there they are. Motor homes, trailers, campers, motorcycles, cyclists, they are all over. It is very busy for sure. I wish we could have brought some home.
The weather there is basically same as here with water sitting in a lot of the fields. Everything is behind.

But back in town, things are pretty quiet, the new park is moving slowly it seems. We missed that downpour of rain on July 7. Apparently it was something to see, the water gushing down Front Street.
It sure is nice to see Dr. Roland Chretien out and about again. He has been attending church and was in his backyard facing the river and waving as we went by with of course that big smile that he always has for everyone. You can’t keep a young man down.
We finally got out on the river on the pontoon boat. This is the first year that it has been so late.
In case some of you are not aware of it, the Laurentian Bank has left the bank machine open at the branch, which is good news for those who do a lot of instant teller banking. From what I have heard, it will remain until the end of December, not much you may say, but better than nothing.
The family of Mr. and Mrs. Hector Ranger held a family reunion on July 8. It was well attended and everyone enjoyed it.
We continue to send good wishes to Aggie Morin and to Ken Morin as well.
Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Cahill and Sloan families on the passing of (Momma) Genevieve Cahill. She was a long-time resident of Calumet Island and then Campbell’s Bay before moving to a senior residence in Aylmer. A former school teacher, Genevieve touched many lives and was well respected by so many people, young and old alike. She was a dedicated member of the church and a devoted member of the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) for 60 years. She was predeceased by her husband Eric, son Bernard, daughters Lynda (Sloan) and infant daughter Maureen. She was a great lady. She was 94 years old.
I think that about does it for me for this week and we sure hope the Shawville Lions Jamboree is blessed with good weather as a lot of its success depends on weather.
We wish everyone having a birthday a very special day and to couples celebrating an anniversary, have a nice day and make sure your hug that day is just a little longer and to everyone, good health wishes are sent your way.
