Home Depot – Nanaimo

Home Depot has always been “my toy store”. They have almost everything you need to put your house in order. Yesterday we went in as Don was looking for a couple of things, and me? I just wanted to walk around and see what was new.

The minute we walked through the doors, we were greeted with a beautiful smile and a gentleman asking if he could help us. Wow! I thought. Then every aisle we walked down or in a department where I would just look at things, we were asked by staff all with a big smile and may I help you on their lips.

I cannot recall ever being in a retail store the past few years where customer service seems to be front and foremost. Not one worker had a glum look or scowl on their face. Funny thing, when I think about it, it was another Home Depot Store in Osoyoos that was just like this one with great staff and even greater selections.

When we were paying for our purchases, we were asked if we wished to donate for a homeless youth charity. Don did and then with a big smile, once again, we were given a plant as a thank you.

Home Depot – you deserve an award for awesome staff, clean store and lots of choices for people like us to pick from. Yup! It still is my favourite toy store.

La Stella Trattoria-Nanaimo

The favourite place for pizza, Arancini and Cannoli for sure. We have been going here once a month for quite a while and it just gets better. Reservations are a must if you want to come and enjoy a great meal.

 

Cherie, our server is a true gem. She welcomes you with a big smile, calls you by name, remembers your beverage selections and what you like to order….until last night.

We took a left turn last night. We skipped the Arancini and went straight to the meal. Kelly ordered a Calabrese ‘fire-spicy hot pizza with (you guessed it) a spicy chili oil. Don ordered the Gnocchi with Beef Ragu and I ordered the Ravioli stuffed with Ricotta, Lemon and Parmesan cheese.

Oh my! Was this delicious. We all loved our new choices. For dessert? Need you ask? Cannoli for me, Chocolate Gelato for Kelly. She is still drooling it was so good,  and coffee for Don and myself.

La Stella…you did it again. Yes, Cherie we will be back, you know that.
