I loved this picture from the moment I saw it when I was very young. Perhaps because I couldn’t believe that this little girl on the right on the photo playing cards with her family could be my mother. My grandparents had rented a cabin in Chertsey in the Lanaudière Region which is about 90 km north of Monteal. The stray hats hanging on the chairs, which were bought by my grandfather at the beginning of the trip, were the big stars of these summer vacations. We see them on all the pictures which are so funny to look at!
