Calm and Beautiful

A QUIET STROLL ON A PERFECT DAY
WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO LIVE HERE!

OUTDOOR PATIO OVERLOOKING CITY



EASTERN (WORKING) AREA OF HARBOUR


We celebrated our anniversary at Queen Elizabeth Park. It was a world full of magical beauty!
Flowers of all colors everywhere surrounding an amazing varity of trees and rocks and waterfalls; so vibrant and alive! The view of the city was awesome and we were impressed again at this beautiful world that was the gift of the Creator to bring joy into our lives.

Our waiter was from Russia and we had an informative talk with him. There were people of all ages, a young couple with a dog let him wade in the pool. A small child about three was chasing after his little brother, two, who was running off ahead of their mother. He caught him and held on to him. Their were elderly people enjoying lunch and a perfect day.

Meanwhile the stock market was failing and many people are suffering and worrying. What will happen next? We know it will affects us all. We who have been so fortunate may have to change our lifestyles.

We enjoyed being away from all the talk of greed and confusion and for a few hours feel inspired and hopeful. The sign on the way home read "Prayer is the bridge from panic to peace."

We do need to pray for our leaders and for our country.

I have been meaning to go out to that park with Randy for the last year. Did you see where they cut the trees down to make the view better? Is it better?

Not quite sure where they cut them down - but the view is much like it was when we took Stephen and Oliver to see Rick Hansen arrive home from his world trip 1985??
It is a real nice place to go for any occasion.
