Saturday, January 30, for my birthday on February 2, Kendra Girletz had organized groups of my family to be on their iPads from their homes to connect with me to celebrate my 90th birthday. What a lot of fun to see everyone—not as good as in person—but so many laughs and recalling fun times.

First on the agenda Ryley’s family did a little video program that was a bit of a roast. It was really funny.

I was so touched by songs from Wyatt and Leslie’s family and memories of when the grandchildren were born until now as grown-ups and have families of their own except Sara.

In all of my family, what a great gift and a lot of work for Kendra, Ryley and Ray.

The great grandkids have grown during COVID so much. Rita was unable to get on as she was working. Verla was in the background of Randy. The down east family, my daughter Glenda and Doug plus their two girls and their five children. We spent an hour and a half. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

There was Ray, Wendy, Wyatt, Leslie, Avery, Beckham and Lennix; Ryley, Kendra, Treyson, Jersey and Finley; Randy, Verla and Sara; Kevin, Tanner, Brittany was at the dentist and wasn’t able to join all of us, and Rowyn and Stratten; Savanna, (Riley was doing chores) Quade, Keller and Cabrie. From Ontario, Glenda, Doug, Staci, Miles, Lewis, Shannon, Ryan, Heidi, Lainey and Cooper.

Kendra made a speech for me which was so much appreciated.

Wyatt also paid tribute to me with special words. I choked up a couple of times but it all meant so much to me. To all of my family, you made my day!

Jean Anhorn of Consort, wife of Art Anhorn who died recently, lived at Hemaruka until they took up residence in the Consort Lodge. Jean died in late January. Sympathy to the family from surrounding areas.
