Magician 2

Et voila - Marc! We tease them that their names "Marc et Huguette" sound like the hosts of a cheesy French sitcom. 

However, these two are no joke. But why call them magicians? (Todd tells me that while performing amazing feats, magicians can be sneaky and not to be trusted - perhaps just a juggler's bias, although I think he's probably in a pretty good position to judge). Clearly not the best analogy here (because Marc and Huguette are firmly among the most trustworthy people we know). 

What else do you call two people, who through inspiration and a lot (really a lot) of perspiration, turn piles of building materials - sticks, stones and the occasional tile and sink - into beautiful homes?  

Introducing Magician 1



Huguette - definitely not a gas jockey!

Actually, she's 1/2 of the dynamic duo, suited up and ready to work her magic on Doré Way.

PS - we love the matching blue gloves.

Quelques arpents de neige?

Beginnings

See the photo above? That's how Voltaire might sneeringly have described it - well, minus the neige.

In our case, it's .54 "arpents" of potential on what we affectionately call Doré Way.
