I am sorry your visit was to attend a memorial but it is so good to remember Bob with cheerfulness and affection and it's touching that you were thinking of him by wearing more formal clothing too. And WOW that impromptu (for you) birthday party was terrific! Isn't it nice to think of them secretly planning it. A birthday concert is a nice idea, and even better that there were no bugs. Altogether a memorable trip, (even though the rain also did its best to be memorable at the end. )<br />Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-27351861792088547282019-08-10T06:06:43.266-04:002019-08-10T06:06:43.266-04:00The memorial service sounds lovely, considering th...The memorial service sounds lovely, considering the sad event.

I think I have read about a National Park in Ohio that has a train - I was looking into it as a thing to do with the kiddo! That must be where you were?

The last piece the orchestra played was Händel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks" and it ended - of course - with fireworks! I hadn't thought about that for years, but your post brought back all these memories. Thank you!<br />That was some serious weather - but I do like the dark atmosphere in your next to last picture.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-85567694788439832472019-08-08T19:18:32.877-04:002019-08-08T19:18:32.877-04:00I did enjoy seeing all of your photographs and rea...I did enjoy seeing all of your photographs and reading about your trip.<br />That concert sounds wonderful.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-54461482429005426522019-08-08T18:12:55.813-04:002019-08-08T18:12:55.813-04:00 Jeanie, Condolences to Rick at the loss of his fr...

I was so worried Oscar would hang out in Paul's bassinet but she had no interest! <br /><br />Sounds like a nice roadtrip, aside from the memorial service - although those are important to attend. The outdoor concert sounded wonderful! I was hoping to catch one at the bandshell by the lake in our area of Minneapolis but Paul's early bedtime makes it hard to go to concerts... hopefully next summer we'll go!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-67409550780127102622019-08-08T09:09:28.750-04:002019-08-08T09:09:28.750-04:00What a nice time, I'm happy you had nice weath...What a nice time, I'm happy you had nice weather until you were headed home.Karen (Back Road Journal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09827391683226863495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-23509159208417003942019-08-08T00:53:32.940-04:002019-08-08T00:53:32.940-04:00It was a lovely outdoor orchestra.

I adore that you enjoyed the concert in the park, blanket and ice chest at hand. Bob had to have been smiling looking down on you all, a great love story from the looks of it. Thanks for stopping by Entertaining Women for a visit. I hope that you'll visit again. I primarily post about entertaining and tablescaping, but I thoroughly enjoy sharing my travels with my friends from Tales of the Traveling Totes.
