I think I will hire her to take pictures for my blog!<\/p>\n<p>I spent a week in Montreal followed by four days in Abitibi at my father&#8217;s house where there was a surprise birthday + retirement party for Suzanne, my step mom. And a brunch, and a dinner, etc.!\u00a0 On the last picture, you can see her present: a beautiful painting from Ariane Ouellet. Looking at it, you feel like a bubble finding its way up in the water. The movement in it is very graceful, light and uplifting. Ariane is an artist living and working in Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue. You can see more of her work <a title=\"Ariane Ouellet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ccat.qc.ca\/arianeouellet\">over here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It was also the first time that my sister and I drove to Abitibi, all alone like grownups! We usually take the bus or are passengers with friends or family. It is a seven hour drive to get to Rouyn from Montreal. The temperature was ideal for a long drive except for that tiny snow storm that showed up an hour before we arrived at our destination.<\/p>\n<p>I had a great time but it feels so good to be back home again. I feel the need to take a long walk in the forest and to draw. Those two things keep me grounded and a bit more \u201czen\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All those beautiful photos were taken by my sister Anik.
