There Goes the Fabulous View...

I know I am like a broken record but, the constructions workers, working on the long term care wing at our hospital, in my backyard, have started to frame up the first floor on the foundation. It takes our view of the Slate Islands from us. It is a thorn in my side, but one I will eventually get used to. No choice in that matter, luckily we adapt to things easily. I am not pleased though to lose the view, to lose the sunrises, and hopefully not the low winter sun. I hope the roof is not too high..

a sad day... boo to progress and change..

The Summer of My Discontent

I have neglected my blog this past summer, I was too miserable, upset, cranky....

Mark and I live with my mom in the house I grew up in. My family moved here when I was in high school. We have enjoyed a view of Lake Superior and the Slate Islands, until this summer. The hospital is building a new long term care wing, it will take our view from us. Never mind the chaos of having major construction in your back yard, but this loss of view has devastated me.

This wing could have been built in a different place or in a different way. I live on Lakeview Drive, my family paid for this view..the hospital is being a bad neighbour.

I am not a happy camper, and my little world has changed.. is this progress? I am not so sure.. my bubble has been burst. I am not sure I want to live here any more, with a building so close to our yard. At the moment we do not have another option. Yes eventually I will get used to it, but for now I am upset.
