Music To My Ears

So yesterday I finally had a full day off from both jobs and so my family took my Grandma to the Vancouver Symphony's annual summer concert in Stanley Park.  Now my Grandma is 81 and obviously doesn't have as much energy as she used to, especially since she has lymphodema in her one leg.  Therefore my family had it all planned out so that we would drive in and park near Waterfront Station, since we had heard that they were not going to let vehicles into Stanley Park.  Then we would take the free event shuttle into the Park.  However, when we got to Waterfront Station we found out that there was a two hour wait for the shuttle and ended up having to walk since we didn't have any change for the city bus.  It took us over half an hour to get to Main Stage in Stanley Park where the concert was taking place and by the time we got there we were all exhausted from having to carry our cooler and chairs all that way.  We were worried about my Grandma but she made it ok.  However, once we sat down we realized that we were dressed too warm and ended up sunburnt and overheated.  Thankfully they had a tap not too far away from where we were sitting so we were able to fill up our water bottles and keep hydrated.  The concert itself was lovely and relaxing and we were able to get on the shuttle right away after it finished so that was a blessing.  Once we got home we got enjoy one of my favourite things about summer: homemade pie stuffed with rhubarb from our garden and fresh strawberries from one of the local farms.  All in all a great end to a very eventful day.  Are any of you enjoying your fresh, locally grown produce?
