Moose Monday - The Hungry Moose in Saint-Sauveur, Quebec

After heading to Saint-Sauveur to grab a bite to eat prior to returning to Montreal from our getwaway in Val David (Feels Like Montana in Val David, Quebec), I ran across some interesting moose...

At a corner of a street on Main Street (rue Principale) in Saint-Sauveur was a restaurant very decorated for the holidays and a subject just calling attention to be photographed for an apparence in today's Moose Monday.

Now, how often do you see a hungry moose carrying a fork with them? :)

This was my first moose with fork sighting! :)

As I mentioned this restaurant was well decorated for the holidays. In the balcony, they were deer, an angel, a snowman and guess what?

The name of the restaurant in Saint-Sauveur is very easy to remember... it is called restaurant le St-Sauveur...

If you are ever in the area and are hungry as a moose, you now know where to go... Bon appétit!

Feels Like Montana in Val David, Quebec

I was lucky to get to spend 4 days of the first week of 2011 with my brother and nieces in the beautiful Laurentians (North of Montreal). We rented a chalet by the lake at Val David, a beautiful quaint town that reminded me of the peaceful winter setting also found in Montana.

Here are some of the photos I took to share with you.

The sunset view of the frozen lake from the chalet.

The chalet with lots of amenities including sauna and hot tub (also included was a snowman!).

A beautiful day was spent downhill skiiing at nearby Mont Blanc.

Another day was spent snow showing.

Here are some icicles along the way.

This was the view (credit goes to my niece Aline who took the photo) of the village from the highest point we reached that day.

I was wondering if I would encounter some wild animals to photograph while in Val David. Sure enough a few came across my path. A squirrel visited our balcony at the chalet.

And a woodpecker was spotted by my nieces near the end of our snow showing experience and I had to backtrack to capture the following photo.

Where is the moose in Val David? :) I leave you with a moose vision of the lake (Lac des Truites) in Val David.

For me, this was by far a time very well spent with family in a long time.

2011 is off to a great start. A New Year and new beginnings for me...

Carpe diem

Moose Monday - Moose Vision from Saint-Adele, Quebec

The following photo was taken on the grounds of the Hotel Le Chantecler.

Le Chantecler is a very good ski resort in the winter time. The Hotel Le Chantecler is great for the apres-ski and it is also a very good spot to have brunch on weekends with family and friends.

Here is a view of the Hotel Chanteclerc on a beautiful fall day (a reminder that today is the last day of fall).

For more on this popular hotel and resort. You can check out www.lechantecler.com for more info (in French or in English).

Happy Moose Monday on this last day of fall!

Good news for the area, we are getting a casino in Mont-Tremblant (Quebec, Canada). Looking forward to having some of you spending some time here... Skiing, Golfing, Fishing, Hunting or even GAMBLING.

Not finished yet, but it will look good. Scheduled opening on the 24th June 2009.

Flights directly to Mont-Tremblant airport from New York!

Did you here about the Prospectsweb software that is now a web based , well I'm using it since a few years, always being up-date getting better and better. The company connect directly to my real estate board so I don't have enter all the info and up-date it.

Interesting enougth it always keeps all documents, faxes and e-mails attached to the client file and the listing. I can print lable directly from the software, but what is most interesting is being able to do a market analysis with comparables. It a great help for follow-ups, area where we aren't always great when busy.

"Match" is used to send properties to prospect buyers, only properties that correspond to the criterias you predetermined that you joined to a buyer's profile. All properties sent to your clients are in the contacts profil, and teh system even lets you know how mant time it was viewed.

Make you sale sheet and keep track of sale.

Lot's more, but you have to put pressure on your real estate board or MLS orginisation to get the system, that the only way of getting the software!

Here is a like toward the site http://www.prospects.com/usa/

MLS Boards, your members will love this system!!!
