Linda's Story

Life Hi there! Here's a little history of what happened after high school back in the day. When I was 17, after Cegep at Champlain in Lennox, I spent summers working in the Gaspe area, then went to university in Montreal. From there, it was the West Island, Pointe Claire for many years where I raised my 2 kids, followed by a move to Ohio for 14 years. I relocated to my hometown area for 4 years, after an absence of 35 years! I've worked my fantasy job with 2 commercial artists for too-short a time, have parented 2 beautiful, talented, smart kids...Elizabeth and Daniel. Beth lives in NZ with my young grandaugher Lily Elizabeth, working full time and writing and publishing children's ebooks!. Dan lives and works in Toronto where he enjoys his many friends & activities including photography.. I miss seeing them so reunions become even more special. Besides being a mom, I've been a sign painter, a monogrammer, step-parent of fabulous chldren, twice a women's Barbershop chorus director, a quartette singer, a truck driver and trucking business partner, Customer Service Rep....My life's been thus far, rich and memorable! At present, I am enjoying my most delayed passion for painting, both in watercolour and in oils.

shing"! The eastern townships area had never lost it's appeal and beauty. When I moved back to Sherbrooke in 2004, I lived in downtown with my very big golden retriever, Leo and cat, Kiki for about 4 years.. Alot of walking and bike trails kept me active and outside daily. I left my job in customer service at a struggling local furniture manufacture,r on April 25, 2008 to move in a different direction. I followed my little sis, Dorothy to Alberta, planning my west-bound road trip in my little grey Suzuki and custom-built hot red utility trailer, loaded with tunes and personal effects, not to mention the cat and dog. I've been in the Edmonton area 5 years, currently living in St Albert where my hubbie & I bought a house. We're enjoying family and community, getting to know the prairie cities and towns as we seek out new places and simple adventures. Leo and Kiki are doing great, loving their yard and housemate, Kiwi, the pug. We're lucky to share our home with my sis and nephew which couldn't be a better arrangement. We've all made several road trips back to Sherbrooke to visit family and share in reunions. We're all Eastern Townshippers at heart - it's a place we love. Besides, where else can we get our fix of maple syrup and butter come Spring or relive fond memories of growing up, come holidays?!
