Showers and Sunshine!!!

Last night the Peace gals had such a fun time hosting a baby shower for Pastor Anthony's wife, Kim and baby Evan Bruce. Kim's mom Julie was able to attend as well. Kim's sister-in-law, Jenn was planning on coming but instead ended up in the hospital on Thursday having her baby - a baby boy, a little playmate for Evan. Little Evan received many wonderful gifts and what a good baby - he was smiling and trying to talk to Janet but just could not get the words out. Then it all got too much so off to dreamland he went and slept as he was passed from one gal to the next.

Just a few of the gals that came to the shower. Here is Lisa and Michelle.

Shirley, Laura and Myra, our new friend from Mexico.

Darlene, our capable MC and Ardy.

Anthony's aunt, Debbie who had a wonderful devotional, Judy and Louise.

Heather, Carol and Nicole's little boy who is turning 1 yr. old tomorrow.

Janet, Jen and I. Jen did again such an awesome job of decorating for this shower.

Delaine and Rhonda.

Just before Kim cut the cake to serve to the 45 ladies that came to the shower.

Is he reading the paper or IS HE SLEEPING????? Note the chairs.......it is Canada Day weekend, after all. We could not sit in any other chairs but these!!!! What a relaxing drive, first to Black Diamond for breakfast, then out to Cat Creek on a sunny, warm day in Alberta and of course we had to have our coffee and fruit along plus my camera!

As we were driving today, we seen the meadows that were covered with Alberta wild roses, Indian paintbrushes, these bright yellow beauties and many other mountain flowers. What a beautiful part of the world we live in and we so often take it for granted. "Help us to be thankful, Lord for our eyes ........ to see the flowers, trees, rivers and mountains!

.......for our ears......to hear the rushing of the river as it cascades down over the rocks, the birds that sing with such unique melodies, the rustling of the wind in the trees.......for the sense of touch.......feeling the wonderful warmth of the sun on our faces and the breeze that gently cools.......for our strong legs.......that lets us walk on mountain paths and helps us climb those steep hills. Help us to be thankful, Lord and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is You who created it all."

I love this view of this mountain at Cat Creek!

A beautiful day for a horseback ride in the mountains.
