Naturally it brought a memory to mind for me... <br /><br />One of the best things about living in the Newport, Rhode Island area is that we often attended Navy Band concerts on the lawn of the Naval War College. The lawn was huge, but it was always filled with all manner of people and picnic gear. We kept things pretty simple--sandwiches, cold drinks (yup, a little wine too), books for each of us to read until the concert started, a cribbage board & cards. But other people went to the entire opposite extreme--we once sat next to a group that brought tables, frozen margaritas (still in the blender container), and candles. But, once it got dark, everyone was pretty much equal--all of us enjoying a beautiful place, beautiful weather, and terrific music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802180359533240713.post-44050951714597559862012-09-02T22:21:06.116+02:002012-09-02T22:21:06.116+02:00Oh my, what a lovely evening you must have had.Oh my, what a lovely evening you must have had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802180359533240713.post-87438796765937454922012-09-02T22:14:44.102+02:002012-09-02T22:14:44.102+02:00What an enchanting evening for you--even if you di...What an enchanting evening for you--even if you did have to drink wine from a plastic up!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052375309496859453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802180359533240713.post-21309214369997905442012-09-02T20:52:07.158+02:002012-09-02T20:52:07.158+02:00Craig sounds like the right kind of guy to travel ...Craig sounds like the right kind of guy to travel with! :)Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802180359533240713.post-65004694452984961262012-09-02T20:41:00.507+02:002012-09-02T20:41:00.507+02:00Those boxes look great!

Been there, done that, do everything to avoid it! (When we travel to my mom's we go a different route as to miss the LA freeways!) Gosh, it's too bad we didn't become friends a few years earlier because Doug and I would have crashed your party and gone to the concert with you and Craig!Deb @ PaperTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957816023851249171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802180359533240713.post-30327608195242474212012-09-02T15:35:53.323+02:002012-09-02T15:35:53.323+02:00How wonderful that you had this memorable opportun...How wonderful that you had this memorable opportunity and that your sweet DH made it possible!!
