gracefield
epitome of incomprehensibility Gracefield, Quebec (near the Ontario border), Canada: for three summers I worked at a camp in this town. I've been back several times since.

But to my brother, it's probably his second home: he's worked there for 12 years, last year in the fall as well as summer (the camp rents out campsites and hosts retreats throughout the year).

The standard thing for a while was for Mom, Dad, and I to go there the first weekend of August, then take Y. with us to the Maxville/Glengarry Highland Games. Reasons this hasn't happened the past three years:

2020 - pandemic
2021 - pandemic
2022 - dog

Comments about Gracefield's name, paraphrased and answered:

-Oh, so this is Elvis' Canadian retreat!

(It SHOULD have been.)

-Ha, a cheesy name for a Christian camp.

(Yes, but it was the town's name first. Wikipedia says a Patrick Grace graced it with that nomenclature.)
