Enjoying our time here in Charente!

Came to Bellerive's Monday morning and saw the new dog barn- WOW!!!! what a difference - whereas the one that burned down last summer held 100 cages this one is smaller for only 31 - whereas the other one was all wood and paneled in cedar and decorated with memorabilia from the family's sled dogging history over 20 years, this is paneled in white shiny plastic-looking siding!!!!!  The new bathroom is very nice and they have put in a washer and dryer so that the dog harnesses won't be washed in Renee's washer any more!

Tuesday we went to Melanie's for dinner and such a wonderful time reminiscing and catching up on the last year's events!  Probably the funniest comment was Patrick's when he was complaining about taxes in Quebec and he said he wanted to marry me so he could come to the US!!!!!!!!
Delicious dinner that Melanie and Patrick made- ham with their maple syrup as a baking glaze and smoked trout for an appetizer!

Wednesday went to Walmart in Shawinigan and spent $284!!!!!  hadn't been shopping for 2 weeks so we were out of a lot plus I bought laundry supplies so we could use the washer and dryer in the barn.

We should have trained dogs yesterday or Tuesday but the training trail here is pretty icy and Randy is afraid we would cut feet or bruise them - so they will just have to be a little bit out of shape for the race this  weekend in Woburn!!!!  We will be leaving for there on Friday morning - will update you on the way there!
