Happy 4th of July - Conner Prairie

Last night we went to the Symphony on the Prairie at Conner Prairie in Fishers, IN.  We've been several times, and it is wonderful.  If you've never been, you should go. 

My Sister gave me a birthday present last night, and I was feeling kind of bad for posting a picture of her on facebook, until I saw this today!  She gave me bunny ears!  And no one said anything.

The plate I am holding is what her daughter made for me for my birthday. 

Special.

 This is my Sister's friend, Christy.

 I made some cupcakes yesterday for a couple of occasions.  I thought it would be cute to dye the frosting for a flag shape. 

 When you don't have time to be Martha, you do stuff like this!

 During the first half of the concert, people are dressed up in veteran war outfits.  One of the songs is a medley of all of the service songs.   If you are a veteran, when your song is played, you stand up.

 A uniformed person will come to you, salute you, and shake your hand for serving our country.

 I think about those boys, leaving their families, and homes, and going off to fight a war, for us.  Chokes me up I tell ya.

 You can see by the people in attendance this isn't a small crowd.  There are thousands of people here....and during part of the ceremony they march the flags through the crowd to the stage, and everyone stands.  Very moving.

 Look at all of the people.

 Below is a picture of my my sister (right) me, My sister's daughter (left of me) and her daughter's friend (in the green)  Notice all of the people behind us.  We are all sitting on a prairie.  

Hence the uneven ground.

 As I said earlier, I felt kind of bad for posting this picture on facebook!

 I am still laughing!!!!

 Even funnier!!!  LOL!  You had to be there.  We were on a somewhat steep hillside!  She just sort of crumbled down, in slow motion.....

 OK - start singing Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture....

BA DA DAA DA DA DA DA DAA DAAA!

 BOOM!!!  (imagine cannon's going off - because they do at Symphony on the prairie!!! LOVE IT!)

 BA DA DA DA DA DA DA DAA DAAAA!

  BOOM!!

BA DA DAA DAA DAAA DA DAA DA DAAAA!

 BOOM!!!!

 Now imagine...all of these people trying to get out of this place.....oh  my gosh......

We waited in our car for an hour before we moved.  It was worth it!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!!
Happy
Birthday 
America!!!

PS - ba daa daa da da daa da daa daaa BOOM! 
I hope you don't get that stuck in your head all day!!!! 

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

First of all, about the picture thing from my last post. When you first open the page that you download pictures on, if you look in the right bottom corner it will tell you how much picture space you have left.

And I cannot post without pictures. I just can't. I've taken pics since I was in high school...probably would have in grade school if I would have been given a camera. I even took a class on developing pics...back in the day when we developed them!

Have you ever listened to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Well listen. Click on listen. Are you listening?

We went to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at Conner Prairie on Sunday Evening. We had a blast. Everyone brought tons of food, wine, and a good mood! The weather was perfect. Some of us even went down by the stage and danced. See the people dancing up front? How can you not with this music! There were around 18 of us. And for awhile another couple came over and sat with us. He works with my Shug and sent me a text asking where we were. They found us...amongst all the people.
And check this out....a friend of mine I went to school with from grade school to high school found us too!

We're both Cindy's (see all the people in the background)

My niece and her Mom ( My Sister) My niece was getting in trouble and I had to annoy her by taking a pic! Well, doesn't happen very often!

And these two unruly boys.....drinking.......grape juice!!!! I LOVE all these kids!

Are you still listening? Don't you just love this music? I do. I just puts you in a happy dancy mood all day long!
