Hi people of Glendale!
My name is Janice, and I have lived in “the hood” since 1999. I moved in on a very cold January day after living in Glenbrook a few years. Funny story, my friends used to live in this house, and I would walk over for a glass of wine (or 6!) and would always say “if you’re ever going to sell the house call me first” …and they did. I have since become the old lady of the cul-de-sac.
People have come and gone and there have been a few major house renos. I enjoy the younger families moving in and watching the kids grow up into young adults. I also love things like Jim and Agnes’ yearly BBQ, watching the neighbours’ granddaughter grow up into a “big girl” who likes pretty dresses, getting doggy hugs and kisses from Luca my neighbours’ dog and standing outside having chats with the neighbours and their children.
Seeing the occasional deer, bobcat, and even skunk wander through the backyard is always fun too. I can only hope that the new zoning laws don’t ruin a very precious place to live. I am worried as I’m sure many of us are. I’m not much of a gardener but I do like to plant some flowers for the bees! I am an avid wood carver and potter. When I am not doing that, I am either swimming or on my bike cycling in Springbank! Cheers everyone.
