QUYON – JILL YOUNG
I hope everyone is getting back to normal after that extended power outage over Easter weekend, and dealing with the after-effects of it. I know it took me a few days to let go of the tension and anxiety that had built up. It must have been a huge relief to get it back for those who had to wait until last Tuesday to have their power restored. Let’s hope we don’t go through that again anytime soon.
On Easter Monday, the Quyon Library hosted an Easter Egg hunt for the kids, which was organized by Kevin Martineau and Yvonne Belland. Many thanks to them for volunteering to do this for the children in our community, and helping out our local library as well. I hear it was well attended and enjoyed by all of the little ones.
Our family has spent the past week celebrating my mom’s milestone 75th birthday, and what fun it has been. On her birthday on Thursday, we joined with some of her family members for a wonderful lunch at Café 349 in Shawville, which was such a nice get-together in her honour. Then on Friday, we headed to Mont Tremblant for the weekend to celebrate. We had a beautiful chalet rented for the weekend, and we toured the village, enjoyed delicious food and drinks, and had a great time relaxing in the beautiful weather. It was a terrific way for my mom to celebrate 75.
Birthday wishes are going out to Joey-Lou Keon on April 20, and to Pryor Thompson on April 25. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
