We drove to Calgary to be with my Dad for his 80th birthday celebration. We took two days to get there, and it was a nice easy drive. The roads were good, and traffic was light.

Karen had arranged a great get together for the family and close friends at the Calgary Winter Club. It was held in a great room with a terrific view of the downtown Calgary skyline. We started with a couple drinks, milling about and chatting. It was good to see the family after such a long absence.

Dinner was a great three course meal, served by professional staff. David emceed the ceremonies, and everything went smoothly. Loreen had a terrific cake made with a picture of Dad as a young man, looking sharp! A very fitting end to the day!

It was a nice time, and I’m really glad we managed to get home for it.

Congrats Dad!
