Happy Birthdays

Well Happy Birthday Dean Ford,
but before there was a Dean Ford there was my dad.
Bob, Uncle Bob, Uncle Poppa, Poppa or simply Dad (just don't call him "Late for dinner.") he has made August 12th a day to remember.
I want to thank you for not calling me at my Ontario birth time since I moved to the west coast.
Enjoy your day.

Love Rob

Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war.

My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone.

I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
