Quebec to Maine

 Tuesday

 

It’s Wednesday morning as I sit at our daughter’s kitchen table, drinking coffee from a Pampered Chef coffee cup and reviewing our day yesterday.

 

 

We left the motel in St-Hyacinthe about 7:30 a.m. and headed east on the TransCanada Highway – going by the exit to the truck stop a few minutes later.

 

 

 

 

We had an uneventful crossing of the border into Vermont, after which this was the kind of scenery we saw most of the day – beautiful mountains. 

 

 

The first thing I noticed when we pulled into Mark and Diane’s drive was the lilacs.  They are a deep purple, compared to our much lighter ones.

 

 

The Narcissus are also in full-bloom.

Mark and Diane were loading the car with Pampered Chef items for an early evening show, so I quickly unpacked my suitcase and went along.  Cerwin stayed at the house and played games with the kids.

Today they were showing Pamperd Chef to two women who are interested in purchasing items and possibly becoming consultants.  Left to right:  Jen (whose home we were visiting), Emily, and Jeannie (Emily’s mom).

 

 

Jeannie prepared hamburger for a taco salad…

 

 

…using a Pampered Chef 10″ Skillet and Mix ‘N Chop.

 

 

Mark got Jen’s husband, Troy, involved in the taco salad preparation.

It was a fun, delicious evening.
