What is winter without a day at the sugar shack? Although there is no snow on the ground anymore, we still got to participate in the french canadian tradition of "cabane à sucre". They had to pour the taffy on a pan of snow that must have been kept in a freezer, but I didn't care, the boiled maple syrup (tire sur la neige) was deeeee-licious! The food was good, the company even better. There is nothing like sharing this tradition with a group of friends and family. There was even a live singer who played his tunes on his guitar and sang some traditional french canadian songs. A couple of my friends even got into it and started playing the "spoons". It was a lot of fun! The only thing missing was Paul. Hubby was in the Bahamas on business and playing a couple games of golf between meetings and will only be getting home tonight. It's too bad he wasn't there, we need a new family picture! The last one we have of all 4 of us is 9 years ago! I guess there is always next year.
