Down Memory Lane

Off to Combermere on the Madawaska River, last Saturday to take in the market and see if Mary and Connie could find Cana Colony, a Catholic retreat centre just off highway 62 near Combermere.


First, the girls spoke with the camp director to ask permission to walk down "memory lane".


When you are a child, all you want is warm summer days, a lake to swim in and sand to make your own castles. Naturally, the first place the girls headed for was the lake.
Then it was remember this and remember that ..........


Two sisters all grown up remember the days they played here as kids.


Each family had a cabin for the week and this was their's back in 1963. WOW! What were you doing the summer of "63"?


The building off to the left is the kitchen and we will look inside next. Each family had their own fridge, and cooked their own meals.


It hasn't changed. Still the same tables, sinks, floor and windows; maybe a few different fridges.


More pictures from Combermere in a few days.
