I spent Christmas with Kevin in Victoria. The weather was the best that I have ever encountered for the holiday season and Victoria really sparkled in the sunshine with the warm temperatures. When we went to the Ogden Point Breakwater on Boxing Day I saw some people with ice cream cones and decided to join them. I have never had an ice cream cone on Boxing Day before! But it was 10 degrees and the sunset was just amazing so we had our ice creams as we walked along the breakwater.
The crowds and the traffic made me realize just how happy I am to be from a small town where the store clerks greet me by name. Each day once I was tired of shopping we went for a walk on a lovely beach. The wind stayed away. The ocean was almost still when we went for our walk on Christmas Day. Aubrey came for a visit and joined us on the beach. One photo was taken at Beaver Lake of a tree stump with branches growing out of the top. The water was so still that the photo almost looks alien!
