We spent many summer vacations crossing Canada to go the east coast to visit family. Do you know the Canadian artist, Paul Kane? He was part of the inspiration for my third book, RIVERS OF STONE, set in 1840s Canada. Hope your writing goes well this November.Beth Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682622561621269515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244908.post-72384015168490410762019-11-11T07:26:26.299-08:002019-11-11T07:26:26.299-08:00My parents emigrated from Scotland to Canada.

One picture showed the ceiling of those tiles; another showed part of that famous Scottish saying (which I learned by further online search. More work online about Deacon Brodie revealed more of his history. Google maps helped me locate the tavern, andBeth Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682622561621269515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244908.post-2702668511544779572019-11-08T00:19:33.832-08:002019-11-08T00:19:33.832-08:00Deacon Brodie seems like a great tavern.

Love the poem, it's certainly chilling.

Have a happy November as well. Mine is extremely busy again, so not sure about writing and reading much.
