September Sunset

Last night, we headed out to Vancouver International Airport to pick up Keiths Aunt. She has been visiting Kayla for the last two weeks. Her flight was due in at 8.30 pm. We set off from Maple Ridge at 7.oopm so we would have lots of time for the hour long drive, plus time to find parking etc.

These photos were taken just a few minutes from our house. We were riding into the sunset.

They are taken in a moving vehicle, through the windscreen. So they arent the best quality, but they still show the stunning, magnificance of the sunset.

The sky was clear except for a few clouds on the horizon, which turned golden. I wish we had had time to stop and get some really good shots.

I am starting with a Photography club. There is one here in town that looks good. And there is a Vancouver club, which looks excellent. They do lots of photoshoot outings as a group. They have theme contests an go to art galleries. So if I can make time, I hope to get to the meetings often and learn a few useful things. And most of all, have some fun and meet some new people.

Another club I have signed up for is the Vancouver Bloggers Meetup. They are a group of local Bloggers who get together once in a while to support eachothers blogging interests. I did a search for a Bloggers Meetup in this area after reading about it on Brians post. He also is going to a meet up, he wants to attend the Oklahoma Meet up. Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to learn more about HTML through this club. They are meeting on the evening of the 20th in Vancouver. It should be fun. If I am going to make it there, I have to get all packed up in advance, ready to leave for Edmonton. My flight goes early on the morning of the 21st.

I am looking forward to having a week with Kayla. She is doing well and has started to get her strength back. She was quite tired last week, the surgery took alot out of her. Kayla has recently lost two of her little buddies that she befriended on the cancer ward. It is such a sad place for her to be, struggling with her own battle, and to be losing friends at the same time. So much anger at how these lives can be ended so young. Keiths Aunt tells us that she is in a little better spirits now.
Whilst at the airport, I saw a business magazine with an article titled Blogging for Dollars. I bought it but havent had a chance to read it through yet. But the man featured apparently makes $60,000 a month off his blog! Ill fill you in when I find out what his secret is!

My hospital has been busy constructing a new building. It opens next week. Yesterday I got to go on a four hour orientation tour. It is a beautiful building on the inside. The outside is a bit unimaginative though. Looks more like a wearhouse than a hospital! While I was there I ran into an old friend who has been working on the construction. Its a small world. It sure was nice to see him. Made a bright spark in my day! For the next week I will be working with 90 of the patients who will be moving into the new building and helping them get settled into their new surroundings. I know they will like it there, but it is always a major upset for old folks to be moved. They dont care that the building they are in now is old, it is what they are used to!

Speaking of old folks.... It was my Dads birthday on the 15th. I didn't post on his big day. So Happy Belated Birthday dad. Here's to another 62 years!
