I have been a member of my lot for a fair amount of time. But then they went off the air. I just heard not too long ago that they were back. I must say I like their interface much better than the old one. So here I am back and I would like to introduce myself. I am a French born Canadian but as you can see I am also very fluent in English. I was a registered nurse for 21 years first in a surgery/gynecology department, followed by the AKU department (artificial kidney unit) and finished my last 13 years in the ICU (intensive care unit). I took a voluntary lay off and I have never been back to nursing or even looked back. I am afraid to say that I had had enough. So now at the ripe of age of 61 I am retired and writing as much as I can first because I enjoy it and second because it is giving me some spare change.

Your nursing history is awesome, you must be a strong person to do it for as long as you did. I am happy to meet you. I am a Canadian too with duel citizenship (US) born in the states. I love Canada - been here 35 years. I am a bit (10 years) older than you and I paint on slate. (I don't speak French)

@frankie2013 Sure I buy new and used Roofing slates, I prefer the used, they are thinner and more interesting because of acid rain that changes their colors. I do a lot of writing on them, making funny signs, and I do welcome signs and all sorts of things that people ask me to do.

@frankie2013 We drove from Alberta to the maritimes twice. Quebec had lovely clean campsites and highway stops!
