Just after Christmas we were in New York visiting friends and family. We finally caught up with the Labrecques.I met Eric in school and started working for Andre (his dad) in the summers. He taught me a great many things. Much of my interest in building comes from my experiences with him. Eventually, I became close to the whole family. They are wonderful people.
Andre, Eric, and Pierre (seen left to right) were at the site of Andre and Raymonde's new home, still in progress, along the Kayaderosseras Creek. Years ago Andre said he was going to build their home there. I couldn't picture it for a long time, but Andre had a vision. He was right! Looking out the back windows at the creek and the trees, I could finally see what drew him to that location. It is beautiful and serene. And these guys are excellent builders!
I'm happy that it is all coming together for them. It will be a wonderful place to live. I look forward to visiting them again when it is all finished!
Afterward, we went to their current home on the other side of town and had a nice visit with Raymonde. She was glad to see us and to finally meet Colin.
I wish we all lived closer!!!
