…because it has. Looking back it’s obvious to see it’s been a while since letting my thoughts flow onto the blog post or as we’d say in the good ol’ days, onto the paper. It’s been a ride, with everyday getting just a little bit closer to park “occupation” coming to an end. The PTSD has not lifted but looking forward is the only direction required right now.

Mother’s day has come and gone and what a fantastic surprise to enjoy the best burgers in the city at Maxines. Mom was a bit disappointed that our usual family gatherings of the past have transformed over the last year and it would just be her and I this year. My sister popped in for a quick gift drop off and then raced back to bask in the splendor of her own Mother’s day celebrations with her children. New friends invited Mom and I to join them and what a great time we had!! If you want to try a fantastic burger get your tail down to Maxines where you’re sure to be thrilled — I was.

The list of activities in May continues and it always floors me how we can be so busy during a Pandemic semi-lock down. Will we ever be able to handle the “fast” pace of life pre-pandemic again? Who knows ehe, and it will all just keep rolling forward and never be the same; “new normal” here we come. On that note I want to share a bit of a flashback through a new publication. This weeks Western Living magazine showcased Project 851 and did a great job of covering the bases. Congratulations to Marianne with her Team and Reece and his for making this house a home to so many of us here on Union St — everyday I see something new and fantastic in the same old same but new.

p.s. if you want to get into the hood just saw a showroom for a new project called the Assembly going up …hmm new neighbours!!
