Welcome to Halifax!

This is the view this morning from my sister’s condo in downtown Halifax. I am looking forward to actually seeing my home town, but we certainly can’t see it from the 15th floor this morning. On the other side of the fog (which is common in Halifax) is a beautiful view of the harbor.

Nadine, the family chef, is leafing through magazines, planning a belated mother’s day brunch. Mom arrives late today and Erin (my niece) arrives home from a school trip on Thursday, so ‘the girls’ will at least have a few days together at the end of the week.

Even though I haven’t lived here since I was 17, it feels good to be ‘home’.
