My grandmother's parents emigrated from northern Quebec (not the city) to Massachusetts before she was born, but she spoke French, as did all her relatives even when I was a kid - they'd speak French sometimes so we kids couldn't understand them, as they all also spoke English perfectly well!
She taught me how to embroider, and was my very first teacher - she was my Sunday school teacher when I was four years old.
I assume I have a half-ton of distant relatives in Quebec, so promise to always be polite if I am there - you never know who I might be related to!
And I always wear something new at Easter!
