Sunny Sunday in Whistler

When Cindy made reservations for Whistler last fall, she had no idea it would land on the Canadian Thanksgiving. We are in the mist of Turkey Sales at Whistler and masses of people from Vancouver are coming to celebrate Thanksgiving.

This was not how I imagined slowly getting used to people and every day life. I took an early morning walk before the masses descended on Whistler Village. It was a lovely walk and I was amazed how fast I could walk without a pack on. Then, Cindy and I watched a BBC mystery to 'decompress'. Afterwards, she went to the library and market, while I went to the Village.

I despise clothes shopping and Cindy, more often than not, clicks some buttons and some new clothes appear in my drawers. I'm quite fine with that. But while strolling down the crowded walkways, I had a gravitational pull from a 60% off sign in front of the Eddie Bauer store. There in a box in front of the store was a soft shirt and shorts in my new and improved smaller size! Then, while walking to the fitting room, I found a pair of pants that were 50% off! I love celebrating Thanksgiving in Canada. I needed the staff to assure me that everything fit perfectly and finally headed back to the condo exhausted!

I did see 2 (nonliving) bears on the way back and returned in time to watch Cindy make Mexican Casserole for dinner. Tomorrow is the "official holiday" so the library will be closed.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
I'm thankful every day to everyone I know and all I have seen and done.Read more
