Day 65- May 24- Norman Stephenson





I am not gonna lie to you, trying to find someone each day here in NS is quite a chore! Today, I went for a walk around town, with my camera in my backpack. I took some photos to prove to those of you who are not here, how gorgeous it is this time of year in Yarmouth. The colours are something else! I will include a few shots of the flowers and places around town in addition to my person of the day.



I searched and searched for my entire walk for someone I knew around town. No one, anywhere, except in their houses and I just didn't feel brave enough yet to walk up and knock to get a photo. I know I will have to before the summer is over but not brave enough yet. As I walked through the mall, it dawned on me that there HAD to be SOMEONE in the grocery store that I knew. There's ALWAYS people in Sobey's that I see when I go. I scanned the aisles and finally recognized someone I knew, Norman.

Norman is a great old guy from the Anglican church that my parents attend. I grew up there as well so Norman has always been interested in finding out how school is going or how work is when I come home for my holidays. He often jokes that if he was younger he'd ask me on a date, and always insisted on having lunch every summer with my youngest brother and I when we'd be in town. He worked for years at the Front Desk of the Grand Hotel on Main Street and is the type of fellow that the old ladies are sweet on and who easily grows on everyone he meets. I don't know if I know a more hardcore football fan as well, Super Bowl and other bowl games are the only reason he can easily justify not being in church on a Sunday. Enjoy the photo!



Theme Song for today: Say it Ain't So by Weezer (Inspired by the third goal by Philadelphia Flyers versus the Montreal Canadiens in the fifth game of the Semi-finals, BOO!)
