A Wink And A Smile -

A few of the photos we took during our wonderful vacation in Japan in March 2010

Lyrics for background music


A WINK AND A SMILE by Harry Connick, Jr.


I remember the days
of just keeping time
of hanging around in sleepy towns, forever
Back roads empty for miles


well you cant have a dream
and cut it to fit
but when I saw you, I knew
we go together, like a wink and a smile


Leave your old jallopy
by the railroad track
we'll get a hip, double dip, tip toppy, 2 seat pontiac


So you can rev her up
don't go slow
It's only green lights and alright
let's go together with a wink and a smile


(Instrumental)


Give me a wink and a smile


(Instrumental)


We go together like a wink and a smile


Now my heart is music
such a simple song
singing again, the notes never end
this is where I belong


Just the sound of your voice
the light in your eyes
Your so far away from yesterday
Together, with a wink and a smile


We go together, like a wink and a smile.

Our Lady of the Cape / Notre Dame du Cap in Cap de la Madeleine Quebec

Photos I took at the beautiful and peaceful Shrine of Our Lady of the Cape in Cap de la Madeleine Quebec, during our August 2010 Legion of Mary Pilgrimage. This holy place is a source of God's Grace, His Mercy and His Love. Mother Mary is truly present to her children here, and she assures each one of us that she is always with us: in our sorrows and in our joys. I just regret that I didn't take more pictures of the beautiful grounds where heaven and earth meet. Thank you Jesus and Mary, and thank you Father Yoland Ouellet, o.m.i. for the beautiful background hymns to Jesus and Mary.


The hymns "Ave Maria a Notre-Dame du Cap / Ave Maria of our Lady of the Cape" and " Magnificat Traditionnel, Francais - English" were used with permission and were taken from the CD "PROCESSION AUX FLAMBEAUX / CANDELIGHT PROCESSION - Notre Dame Dame du Cap"

Our Lady of the Cape Pilgrimage

I spent the past weekend at the beautiful Shrine of Our lady of the Cape in Trois Rivieres Quebec. I attended the yearly Legion of Mary Pilgrimage to the Shrines of Our lady of the Cape and Saint Anne de Beaupre. I took oodles of pictures and made a slide show above with some of the better ones. Included are some photos I took at two other Shrines we visited as well, Sacred Heart Shrine in Montreal and Our lady of Lourdes Shrine in Rigaud.  It was a beautiful peaceful weekend and the weather was perfect to boot.

Saint Joseph's Oratory

Above is a slide show I made of some of my sister's  photos that she took during our visit last weekend to Saint Joseph's Oratory in Montreal.  The oratory was founded by Brother Andre who will be canonized in Rome  later on this year.
