Happy Birthday!

Today was my 60th birthday!  (ugh... I had a hard time typing that!) Since we had to work at the office, Cameron & Lindsay & family took off to see some of Montreal on their own.  Sister Levitre baked me some brownies. They also sang to me... and since Elder Levitre used to sing in the Tabernacle Choir, and she tried out for the choir at one time, it was a beautiful rendition!

It almost made turning 60 almost bearable! Later that night Lindsay & Cameron gave me some presents that included this cute tote bag that she had made herself!

We all went out for dinner at a great place we love here... called Scores. They have great ribs & chicken dishes & a wonderful salad bar - pretty reasonably priced for Montreal - 2 for $20.00 !

Then we drove over to show them the Montreal Temple. Of course... the first thing we noticed when we drove up was the gorgeous tulips they had in front.  Here we had gone to Ottawa to see the Tulip Festival and there were hardly any, but around the temple they are thriving!

While we were there, our temple President - Pres. David Galbraith - drove up to lock up something, and offered to take all of us on a tour of the temple, if we had our temple recommends. But, rats, Lindsay & Cameron had theirs back at the apartment in their suitcases, so we just had to settle for seeing the outside. The people here feel so lucky to have a temple in Montreal. Before that, it was drive 6 hours to Toronto and before that it was a several day trip down to Washington DC for them to attend the temple.

All in all, a pretty good birthday!
