Squamish Fun

We're never quite sure when there's going to be snow on the ground in Squamish.  Sometimes it comes when we are not expecting it and other times when we prepare, the roads are bare and we travel in ease.  We visit friends in various places in the downtown and then have lunch somewhere, including the local Tim Horton's.  Mid-afternoon we gather at Mountain Valley Mission for a 12-step support group where we learn and share our journey of faith and life with God in recovery together.

The Wednesday before Christmas we spent time around noon at a local shelter singing Christmas songs while Santa visited with folks who came for lunch and gave them some early Christmas presents.

Then it was back to Mountain Valley Mission for our usual 12-step meeting and a celebration dinner. Some of our friends were busy with work or family and we missed them but we still had a great evening.  Candles were beautiful.  Food was plentiful.  Music was delightful.  There was laughter and joy in the house.  Santa took off his cap and you'd never believe the hair under it!!!!  He had to leave soon after dinner to get back to work at the North Pole but at least he had a bit of "down time" with us in Squamish.
