I forgot my laptop when we left for Whistler on Friday afternoon. I’m glad. Edgewater Lodge is on Green Lake in Whistler. We stayed there for four days over the last Farmer’s Market of the season. It was spectacular. Peaceful, restful, an oasis of calm in the chaotic Turkey sale weekend that was going on around us….near us and almost over top of us.

Lesson One…Do not stand between a man and a pair of ski bindings that are on sale. You will be trampled to death.

Every night this is the view I was lucky enough to knit to, sitting in the window ledge. One morning I was held captive by the fog moving across the water. I had never seen anything like it. We walked and hiked around the lake. John found a new dog best friend and the games of fetch became more and more complicated. We picked wildflowers for the room, lit candles and I even did a tarot reading (which I have not done in ages). I never find a place quiet enough to do it. I’m almost sorry to say this, but it was magical.

This was the first time over the entire season (included 3 stays at the Fairmont) that I did not want to check out….I was knitting with a view until 10:59am…..

We had no rain during the two days of the sale which was amazing for business. Unfortunately, the rain couldn’t hold off any longer so we had to include it in our Monday hiking…..We were almost dry by the time we made it back to Vancouver.

There are a few locals I would like to thank for making our summer so enjoyable.

May, Al, Janice and Dick—-Your place is amazing. I told you I will be camping in your yard at least once or twice over the winter! Sorry. I know your address.

Jan…..your company, our yarn chats, your inspirational aerial feats. I enjoyed every weekend you stopped in the booth. More than that, John loved his visit with Dagger. (forgive my spelling) and I am still looking forward to spinning his fur.

Diane….thank you for our yarn chats and taking a risk on the Monkey wool. Thank you for introducing me to the Friday night knitting group at the Fairmont. I think knitting in a bar is cool. I’ll make it up there one of these weekends soon.

Cat…..thanks for your kindness and support over the season. You helped make the market a terrific experience for me.
