“When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon,
my soul expands in worship of the Creator”
Mahatma Gandhi

It was the truly perfect end of a truly perfect day!! The English Bay Sunset at the Sylvia Hotel did not disappoint! We gathered with 60-70 dear friends and family to celebrate life and give thanks for the day. We were serenaded by an unexpected visit by Harry and Paulette's "Travelling Band" who led 4 beautiful numbers including "What a Wonderful World" and "Rock'n Around the Clock".
I was totally suprised by the presence of my daughter Robyn and her partner Brandon who were "snuck" in from Edmonton for the occasion. Robyn blew us away with a slideshow of pictures that began in Arkansas in 1957 and flowed right through to present day! WOW!!

I am reminded so often on this journey of the incredible blessing of family and friends who walk the way with us. Yesterday's gathering reflected a cross-section of family, friends and colleagues who go back with Pam and I to our Queen Charlotte Islands days and beyond. We give thanks for the gift of each! And now I've got a whole month's worth of birthday cards to open! Yeah!

"Once while St. Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden, he was asked, ''What would you do if you were suddenly to learn that you were to die at sunset today?'' He replied, ''I would finish hoeing my garden.''”

Love the photos you have shared of you and Pam and your gorgeous girls. I admire your personal power and positive approach as you are on this journey Rob. Would have been fun to be there. How great to have the Harry and Paulette come to entertain. Happy Birthmonth to you! Corinne always celebrates for the entire month and it is a brilliant idea!
