Garden Gnome




 My cousin Ann and I were visiting my Aunt Joy while I was in BC years ago. While we were there she told us to take something from her cabinet to remember her by. We both declined as we felt we had enough with just her memories of her but she insisted. I don't remember what it was I took but Ann took the Gnome and immediately Aunt Joy said, no anything but that, I got it from Richard, her son in law. Ann was quite shocked and thought she may have been joking but she was dead serious. So Ann took something else. We left and laughed about that Gnome the rest of the day and still do when anyone talks about Gnomes. Anyhow I think I found the exact Gnome today in a 2nd hand store. I know my cousin doesn't need anymore Tchotchkes so I will sell it. The story is good enough to remember our Aunt Joy who we miss very much.

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The  Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like  this  in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.
