glorious day

Canada Day could not have been better. It was actually glorious!!! My friend Bobbi and I greet you with the great Canadian tradition of great Canadian beer. Made on Granville Island, which is also where it was enjoyed, while listening to jazz played by Bob Murphy and his cronies, who hail from the beautiful city of Vancouver. I loved every second of this experience!

The day started out even better though...if that could be possible!! Bobbi, me and our friends Scott, Cathy and Bryan walked across the Cambie Street Bridge to the Round House to see The Flat Earth Society. This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The Big Band in a new and modern way. It was a musical delight and free to boot! The piece de resistance however was this lovely couple. They sat right in front of us in matching Canada Day outfits. Hint: the hat with the flower belongs to the wife. This picture doesn't show the fabulous stadium seating chairs complete with pockets. I was incredibly tempted to help myself to the pop they had in the back pocket. I loved this so much because I was in Yaletown, one of the swankiest neighbourhoods in my beloved city, and here were these people who really didn't care that they looked silly. It was fabulous!!

When my eyes weren't fixated on the beautiful red t shirts worn by the lovely couple, I was looking over their shoulders to the stage to behold the sexiest saxophone player I have ever espied. Not only could he play the dang thing he looked amazing doing it!! He's the one in the purple shirt. The pic is a little fuzzy. It's hard to take a clear picture when you're so taken with the subject. Fortunately the music was loud enough to cover up the frequent sighing.....siiiiiiiiiiiiiggggghhhhh!

Other highlights include my first ever ride on the Aqua Bus, a delicious chocolate muffin with butter cream icing, JJ Bean americano and unbelievable Indian food. Could anyone ever tire of Butter Chicken? Walking home just before the sky becomes completely dark in the succulent coolness of the evening was the culmination.

thank you Lord for letting me live in this glorious world with glorious people at this glorious time. It is splendour!
