On Thursday, our friends Camille and Chadwick ofJonetsu Photography invited us for dinner and drinks in Whistler. Camille cooked a great dinner of beef kebabs and a yummy candied salmon and goat cheese salad. Um, and lots of red wine to ease it down. ;-) Chadwick also played host-with-the-most, even making me a cappuccino with a machine as big as our car. Their friends Kelly and Thom
joined us a little later and we had a wonderful evening together while great lovely cold crystals dropped from the night sky. It was truly a winter wonderland up there!
Luckily, I brought my skis..... :-D

Friday morning dawned with still more snow falling and we lapped up a fantastic day of Whistler-Blackcomb's finest. WOW. What a day! I showed Chadwick and Thom a spot they hadn't seen before. I just love the exhilarating sense of freedom & flight skiing gives us. Communing with nature in the crisp alpine air together with the fast camraderie of mutual enjoyment lends one a tremendous sense of contentment!

We all had that pleasantly tired and sore feeling when we got back to the "cabin" (bigger and better appointed than our house!) and had another glass of red wine to toast a great day!

Thank you so very much, Camille and Chadwick. We have been working a bit too much lately and you gave us a wonderful gift by inviting us up. Our turn next time!
