Transition comes with a lot of things to do. Appointments, meetings, places to go, people to be see… Not to mention all of the things life otherwise requires – work, errands… it all adds up! Carrying on a recent theme, inspiration has been very slow to come in adequate doses lately. I’m hoping that since…

One of the goals was to bring my mom to the Hydrostone. Mainly because it’s a cute neighbourhood with an interesting history and because it’s home to L.K. Yarns. For many years, it was rare to see my mom without knitting needles in hand and she has been looking to pick up the needles once…

Our first goal was to bring my mom up Spring Garden Road and to the Halifax Public Gardens, both of which she found a delight. As for me, I learned that I continue to find the Public Gardens a challenge to photograph! After a nice time in the gardens, we proceeded to Robie so that…

By Tuesday, my mom had healed well enough from a procedure that she was able to join us for one of our adventures. She wanted to see Halifax Public Gardens and we also suggested seeing the North End, a neighbourhood we always make sure visit when we’re in town. It was going to be a…

For our third day in town, Kathleen and I decided that it was time to head into Halifax. Since we had planned to head down Spring Garden and then up into the North End with my mom a few days later, we decided to wander around the neighbourhoods south of Spring Garden. I had one…

Our first full day was a fairly quiet one. The weather was quite nice and all we had on the agenda was to meet my mom for a coffee, which we enjoyed at Two if by Sea on Ochterloney. It was a nice catch-up and the first time we had seen her all settled into…

Every year, Kathleen and I make a trip to Halifax. She’s a Dartmouth girl and my mom moved there two years ago to retire, so it’s a family visit as much as a vacation in a very lovely part of the country. Last year’s vacation was the week of September 14 to the 19th, and…
