My birthday was last week and as a big surprise hubby planned a weekend away in Tofino at Crystal cove beach resort .We had a great weekend! Another couple came with us and we also visited with close friends that live in Tofino. Here are a few of the many pictures I took while there.Online web album of the trip

My Birthday

Well today is my birthday. As I left home this morning there were signs along the road wishing me happy birthday. On my way home another sign. Then to the florisit to pick up these wonderful orchids and carnations, my favourite flowers. This arrangement is from my terrific in laws. Thank you!

These carnations along with some balloons were dropped off at work, from the same friend that put up the signs, baloons and streamers.

My husband went to a wonderful locally Candy shop that is decorated like Hansel and Gretel's ferry tale cottage. It is full of some wonderful treats. mmmmm yum.

In fact at work a co worker brought in some yummy treats and I had lovely hugs from the kids and co workers. A perfect day. Next we are off to dinner with some close friends. Thank you everyone for the wonderful day.
