canada day + anniversaries

i would be remissed if i didn't share a couple of celebrations that occurred last week. on canada day - july first - granville island celebrated 35 years and my in-laws celebrated 49 (49!) years of marriage. 

granville island is vancouver's beloved public space.  we have lived in its neighbourhood since we first moved here over a decade ago and couldn't imagine living someplace else.  we are there weekly if not more sometimes.  it's a pleasure to pick up groceries, find gifts, or just hang out.  love.

harm and marion have one of the sweetest marriages.  for example, they always hold hands; it's my favourite thing.  they do everything together - chores, groceries, travel.  i think this doing things together reminds them both that they work together as a team.  and at the core of their marriage is forever and ever red wine and bread :)  

anyway, after a lavish breakfast at home we walked to granville island to listen to live jazz, gather with friends, and watch the parade.  definitely a lazy summer afternoon in good company.  a good scene, indeed.
