My Beautiful Ajax
I'm in a "reflective" state of mind these days. With that in mind, I decided to reflect on the city I live in, the town I love and the places I enjoy spending time at.
So, buckle up and let's start the journey of my Beautiful Ajax
Entrance to the Courtyard
The Village Courtyard
Spiro & Dora have been married for 39 years, have 1 daughter and 4 grandchildren. They own a store that used to sell furs but is a womens' fashion store and live right upstairs. I asked Dora what's the secret to her long lasting marriage and she said "As long as you continue to want to kill your husband, then the fire continues to live on". Spiro was so sweet and insisted on wanting me to sit in his comfy chair. Their background is Greek and they're full of passion, warmth and kindness.

The People of the Village: 15 minute conversation
Meet my new friends, Spiro, Anna and Dora. I noticed them cillin' outside while listening to the tunes of Paula Anka and Tom Jones.

She was living with her boyfriend who owned a store, but has passed away since 1999. She is now dating a tenant who is 20 years her junior. She loves him with all her heart and could not have been any happier.
Lesson learned from the village people; enjoy life, you don't know what's waiting for you around the corner, don't think too much of the future, be the best mother you can be and "continue to be full of life and impact people's lives" as Anna said.
