Christmas Day






We had a great face-time visit with the kids and Liz and Geoff [ ok- not Geoff, he was sick.] And I talked to Jack and Joe & Ted, who is on his way to Calgary to visit with Barb and her kids for Christmas.

Christmas day was fun. We packed a lunch and dove to the beach. There were lots of people out there is coats, hats, boots. We were in short pants and bare feet. We wandered around for about an hour, I tasted the water, and then we went back to the car to find a bathroom! Christmas Day, everything closed including the washrooms!!! We decided to hit the 4:00pm show...good idea. It didn’t start until 4:30 so we had lots of time to get our seats and stuff. We didn’t have time for our picnic lunch so we ate a gallon tub of popcorn ($3.50)...with FREE refills. Good thing... Mark had an “accident” and lost half of his before the show started. Into the woods was VERY cool...funny, fast and little bit opera but I thoroughly enjoyed it.


We came back to the Marina around 7:00 and had our picnic lunch in the common room, which worked better than the beach...no sand in the sandwiches.
Guess what...they don’t have Boxing Day down here!! It’s just another shopping day... it’s not a holiday!  So we’re trying to convert them.
