Belated birthday hugs to you! And my goodness this just moved Montreal to the top of my bucket list. My husband and I have been wanting to go there for AGES. Definitely bookmarking this restaurant list, Elizabeth!
Happy birthday! It sounds like a really fun trip. I'm definitely bookmarking all the recommendations for the next time we venture north. Hope this year brings lots more great travels!
What a terrific way for you and husband celebrate your birthday. I love all those little bistros in Montreal and it’s been years since I’ve had a chance to visit saving all your pro tips!
Happy Birthday Elizabeth, I wish you a joyful and abundant year in whatever way you desire it to be.
A lovely reflection of a month of transition no matter which hemisphere. As for the rain, I love it too, its season is shifting here, it’s futile to fight it. Walking in monsoonal rain in Asia is something you must try.
Now to rainy day friends.
I disagree with your sentiment that they need nothing in return. Everyone appreciates and shines when the light of grace and gratitude flashes their way after years of being the rainy day friend for others.
You are so right Lisa! In fact, I've gone in and added that sentiment to the post. Because with their gentle natures, those rainy day friends will not ask for that "light of grace" but perhaps need it even more to replenish their giving well 💕
Happy birthday, Elizabeth!! Sounds like you had the most delicious weekend (missing those cottage cheese pancakes from Arthur’s!!). And as a fellow April baby, I totally appreciate your take on the month. :)
Aw thank you! 😊 I love that cabbage is here to stay for a bit! Since I posted about strawberries, I’ve been seeing recipes everywhere with them too! Definitely keeps me inspired!

Thank you Betty! It’s such a fun city and Quebec City is worth the add on, if you haven’t been 💕
Happy belated birthday! It sounds like you had a wonderful time.
Thanks for this delicious list. I've saved it for the next time I make it to Montreal.
Thank you Mira! It was lots of fun 😊
Happy belated birthday, Elizabeth! It sounds and looks like you had a lovely time and really good food. I’d love to go to Montreal one day.
Belated happy birthday Elizabeth! Sounds like you celebrated in style 😉🤗
Happy birthday, dear Elizabeth!
Montreal is a perfect city to celebrate your birthday.
Thank you dear heart! It was indeed a perfect place. The rain followed us but didn't dampen our spirits.
I am glad that rain was just a backdrop and didn’t affect you.
Happy Birthday to you🎉.
I've never been to Montreal, but it looks like a lovely place to check out and I love you writing on rain and rainy day people.
Thank you Kalee! You would love it 💕
Oh looooove Montreal! Perfect birthday food city!! Happy belated birthday, Elizabeth!!!
Thank you dear Aki--it was loads of fun!
You’ve just penciled in an entire itinerary to my bucket list…✍️ “take in Montreal.” 😉. Happy Birthday my beautiful friend!!
A must do! Just as I need to visit The Big Easy and you, my dear friend! 💕
Please do!!!!😍
Happy birthday! It sounds like a really fun trip. I'm definitely bookmarking all the recommendations for the next time we venture north. Hope this year brings lots more great travels!
Thank you Sally! I missed you at the Retreat--hope we can connect again some time soon 💕
Haven’t been to Montreal in years — I clearly need to return!
An easy drive for you! Go in the fall with all the gorgeous colours 💕
My stepson went to McGill, so those years we had quite a few trips there!
Great university!
Happy Birthday, Elizabeth. What a beautiful reflection. And awesome way to celebrate your special day.
Thank you Harshita! It was a perfect weekend 💕

Do go! It's a bit of a cliché but it does feel like going to Europe, especially if you combine it with a jaunt to Quebec City, which is gorgeous.

You have put t his so beautifully Elizabeth, indeed the gratitude keeps the giving well fresh.

Ahhh...Kerry...I hope the rain stops by the time your birthday comes around! Sending you advance best wishes 💕
Every time I saw cabbage on the menu as a standalone course (and it was EVERYWHERE), I thought you you...you called it!
Aw thank you! 😊 I love that cabbage is here to stay for a bit! Since I posted about strawberries, I’ve been seeing recipes everywhere with them too! Definitely keeps me inspired!
Happy birthday, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing your highlights with us🧡
Thanks so much Beth! 💕
I think you missed noting the highlight of your trip to Montreal :)
Oh no, it's there! 😊
