Welcome

Inspiration for this blog came from my cousin Roy. His daily reflections of the events in his life have been thoughtful and interesting. Family, friends, colleagues are welcome to read my blog.

OLD THINGS HAVE CHARACTER

Visiting any city can bring a reflection of new and old. Larger skyscrapers are okay but older buildings and monuments bring lots of character. Windows and doors intrigue me. Victoria style homes with the brickwork and little hearts in the corners. So why do many often not see the character in old people? Why are worn faces with history often just seen as wrinkled people? Is there not an awareness that every wrinkle may have a story? Blending old and new can bring an enriched character to any location. The Royal Ontario Museum kept the old original wall in the modern entrance. Union Station in Toronto has incorporated some of its initial features too. Like a family event with the babies, the children, the middle agers and the seniors- brings lots of character!
