Jodi, you're from Quebec??? Well that's where I was born! Rouyn Noranda. We left when I was 7 though. The world is such a small place. :lol:

[Jodi Frye]

Pauline, well then it's no wonder we have such a connection ;) My mother is English with direct relatives from England and my father was french with direct relatives from the Algonquian tribe. Makes me a definite mutt :D My mother still resides in Quebec. My father moved on to that better place. My sister lives up in Grande-Vallee and works in Wildlife law enforcement while my youngest brother resides in Montreal...the musician slash computer techy and last but not least my older brother still resides home with mom ( seperate quarters) and builds race cars as a hobbie and works in some big garage has head honcho. Too much info ? ;)

[Pauline]

Jodi, too funny. My father was French too. Don't know much about him. He was an alcoholic which is why my Mother left him. He died many years ago, and I never did see him after we left. My Mother's family is from England too! (back a generation or 2)! We moved to North Bay, Ont., and my Mother and 2 sisters still live there. Oh and if we're going to talk about Newfies, that's what my step father is!

[Jodi Frye]

Jodi and Pauline I too am from Canada but from the west side. Winnipeg, Manitoba. I'm also french. I have been to Quebec once. I plan on going back on my way to the Maritimes someday soon I hope.

[Pauline]

Chris you'll have to wave to my Mom. :lol: She's on her way out there with my Aunt and Uncle! (driving) I've got 3 Uncles out in Winnipeg and my cousin is getting married this weekend.

We lived there for a year when I was 12 (in the roughest part of town not far from Portage and Main!!) I also went back when I was 18 to visit my cousins and about 10 years ago to a big family reunion. :lol:

So much Canadian blood in these parts ! I have traveled across Canada and the US..I must say that the NW is definietly a good spirit place for me. Tho I have been livin' in the States since I was around 18-19...I am truly a mutt with no specific boundaries ;) Well,,,the oceans kind of make things a little tougher for me. ;)

I am from Canada too...Born in Montareal Que. and my parents moved to Ontario I live in a city called Orillia about 150 miles south of North Bay.
Sure is a small world we Canadians are scattered all over the place lol :D

[Pauline]

Hey neighbour G. OReily. I'm in Beaverton, 1/2 south of you down highway 12!!! Looks like your my closest forum buddy so far, and North Bay is where I grew up! :lol:

[G. OReilly]

Pauline Hi well it just goes to show how small a world we live in !
I am new at digital photography I'am from the "old school" film photography so now in a new learning curve.
The people her are very friendly and helpful so I guess I will be OK .
My camera that I use is a Canon 20 D and I like it so far. My film camera is a Hasselblad.
Regards
:P
