Pardon my French

Sometimes you just happen upon things in life that make you say 'What the....?' Whenever these moments happen to me they usually make me laugh at the obscurity of what I am seeing as well as at the thought that to someone this is normal.

So far I have two of these moments to share with you since arriving in Montreal. One happened while I was (again) lost on my way to meet a friend. I accidently turned left where I was supposed to turn right in a suburb area in St. Laurent and this is what I found....

I wish I could better describe the monstrosity of this house. Honestly without the 10 ft statue above the entrance way of a Greek god or something similar, the ornamentation would be bareable. Unfortunately, it's not. Not only is there the massive statue, but apparently there is a big round medallion carving on the garage door around the side. Seriously, who designs a house like this to live in in Montreal?!?!

The next moment happened when I was at the farm with my Dad. I was getting suited up to brave the cold and looking for a warmer pair of mitts in their coat closet and this is what I pulled out....

Four stuffed deer feet angled uniformly at 90 degrees.

A person, such as myself, might be hard pressed to understand what one would be doing with four stuffed deer feet in the hat/mitt shelf of a closet, but apparently they are there with purpose. (And no, my original thought that I missed the memo that deer feet are just as lucky as rabbit paws was not accurate.) The deer feet are going to be used to make a coat rack at the farm. In other words, they are currently the assembly pieces of one of my Dad's many projects that have not yet been able to come to fruition.

Can't wait to see what I find next.
