Lachute visit again

After almost 18 months I was there yet again. I connected with my friends at the Louisa church. I found it quite easily this time. The service was very nice and everyone was friendly. A woman there knew some friends of mine from Ottawa.

After the service we drove towards Lachute. We went by some very familiar lake names from my past. The road has lots of curves and hills - mostly going downwards this way.

Just before coming into Lachute we passed by where a riding friend used to live. Then across the little bridge and the river where my dad used to swim as a boy. The cemetery was right in front of us but we did not stop but went by where my grandparents lived and also the dairy. There was no ice cream for me this trip.

Then I took my friends on a little tour of the town and where we lived on Rue de la Princesse. They were quite impressed.

Then off to lunch at the shopping mall and a good time of sharing. I hope to meet up with these friends again another time. We will certainly stay in touch.

We did talk about lots of folks that they knew from their time in Ottawa and at St. John’s some years ago now.
