We 50-somethings are the real deal!

Being older and wiser can have its advantages. While I still feel young at heart, I am closing in on the final few chapters of my life. It’s funny that when we Boomers think back about our youth we feel old. I remember our first microwave and colour TV. I remember dial phones in that weird beige colour. I remember heading to the dump on weekends with my dad.

King Terraces will become ‘cornerstone’ of community

Shovels hit the dirt last week, marking the official ground-breaking for King Terraces, a six-storey condo development in King City. The project, by Zancor Homes, will become a beacon for the community. Zancor representatives thanked Township staff and councillors, noting it will be the “cornerstone” of King City. When the building is complete, it will be sought after by home-owners seeking luxury condo living.

Pizza, back-yard style with BakerStone oven

Pizza is Canada’s number one comfort food. It’s been scientifically proven to excite the brain like no other food. Store-bought pizzas are one thing, but few rival the taste, flavour and TLC created at home. Home-made pies, fresh out of the oven, are like nothing else on Earth. It’s virtually impossible to get that pizza oven quality at home, at least not until now.
