Does everyone get the title reference? I'm such a musical theater nerd it's ridiculous.
Anyways, not the point of this post...the point of this post is to wish my lovely father in law a happy 70th birthday! He just came back from a seven week RV adventure through New Zealand with his wife beside him, where they did more than one hike over hills, mountains, volcanoes and sand dunes. I know right??? 70 is totally the new 30. We surprised him with our arrival on the west coast and "duped" him with a huge party filled with his closest family and friends. (who all lied to his face all week. he keeps calling himself the "dupee") On his actual birthday we went to La Cucina Restaurant in North Vancouver and when we got home we had a very touching and emotional moment where over a "wee dram" of Macallan Scotch he went around the room describing all the things he loved about each of us the most. Leave it to Colin to be so sweet and kind on a day that should be all about him.
Seeing him so happy to be surrounded by the people he adores and who adore him back was a joy to behold. So in the spirit of the celebration of life, and love, and family I leave you with a quote from the awesome Lululemon bag of manifestos. (and yes of course I had to stop and shop at the outlet-I am in the land where Lululemon was born!)
"that which matters
THE MOST
should never give way to that which matters
THE LEAST"
AWWWW Happy Birthday Colin! That is the sweetest thing that he celebrated each of you that way. I am glad you had fun with the Campbell clan, but am looking forward to having you home!!!
