This has been a super busy week...
On Thursday night, Darcy and I (plus all of Helga's family and friends...we took up 3 full tables) went to cheer Helga on as she was inducted in the Builder category for the Burnaby Hall of Fame. It was held at the Firefighter's Banquet Hall in Metrotown.
It was a splendid evening. Food for a buffet was excellent. Wine on the table had special personalised labels with Helga's name on it.
I had bought a large card and everyone from the gym had signed it and bought a bouquet of flowers from our Board of Directors....she was very pleased.
She gave a perfectly wonderful heart-felt speech when she received her Award which was so-Helga-like.
She deserved this tribute and she is another person who has been such a mentor and such a person of worth in my life. Her kindness, her dedication, her commitment to the things she believes in...and most of her strong love and care of children, people...her friends and her family. Both grand-kids came and they were so well-behaved and so good at their Oma's big night!~
