BOUQUET: Thank you to all the local restaurants during the pandemic. With more closures happening it is now even more important to support through delivery and gift cards.
BEEF: To the construction and BC Hydro crews on Sooke and Jacklin roads, what a mess! The potholes are outrageous and the damage that must be happening to the vehicles driving this area is crazy.
BEEF: To the locals walking the Taylor Beach area. My family and I were there walking over spring break and there was such a mess of poop bags around. Why is it you have the energy to use the poop bag, but not the energy to take it home and discard it properly?
BOUQUET: Jesse Roper rocks and deserves a huge bouquet for his new release Horizons! A funny video and a great tune. Thank you, Jesse, for being a great local artist. CanB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t wait for the live concerts to return. But in the meantime, my family and I will continue to watch you virtually!
BEEF: A big slab of RAW beef to the couple that cut me off in the Canadian Superstore parking lot, and then flipped me off because I was patiently waiting for a parking spot. Not sure why you were in such a big hurry that morning, but my nine-year-old son enjoyed the explanation of why you flipped us off. He could not understand why you could not just wait your turn!
BOUQUET: To all the families out on spring break this past two weeks. As a senior living on the West Shore I enjoyed seeing all the families out walking and playing in the local parks. It was so nice to see everyone spending quality time together and enjoying each otherB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s company. I had the pleasure of having a conversation with a few of you, and hearing the kidsB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ laughter while at Colwood Creek park was amazing, especially during COVID. Thank you for including me in the community and all the spring break cheer!
BOUQUET: To the Langford Legion for holding in there during this pandemic. The Legion is such a big part of our community and what they give back. Everyone can be supportive in our community, donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t forget about the Legion.
BOUQUET: This bouquet goes out to my four girls Angelina, Lily, Ella and Jules (aged 13, 10, eight and six) for making me smile everyday. I love them!
