Budget cuts made in secret. Now secret side deals to allow some NS Museums to stay open but at the expense of others. Its almost as if theyre making it up as they go along. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Yeah nuts to the Rolex stores, they tried to sucker my dad out of the watch his grandmother gave him in the 50s. Try www.abcwatchwerks.com/index.php Or feldmarwatch.com/services-rep... to start with

Respite care for you, day programs for dementia pts (if their level of care allows for it). If you did drama/improv in school, living with a dementia patient is always a game of “yes, and”. “X person isn’t here right now, but tell me about them/show them to me in the photo albums”. Don’t correct

No wait, wrong Tiverton yellow house. I remember this one, yikes.

A photo of a road from the perspective of a person on a bike riding down the road. There are cars parked on both sides, and a brilliant blue sky above. And the street is lined with cherry trees in full blume with big puffy pink flowers.
