HOLYROOD

Mom, who is now almost 80 and she looks like she is still 55. She has the spirit of a curious young lady. She looks out the front window every day and enjoys the sunsets over her “water” in Holyrood bay. I hear her familiar words, “My, look at all the new developments going on over there across the harbour”. A woman who used to plant flowers for the Holyrood beautification committee in Holyrood, mom, Sonia Olivero is thrilled to see Holyrood blooming.
