Sunday was a good, good day. Dick was home, we went to our church to lead worship for the first time in many weeks, and we went to our favorite July 4th event at Longs Park.
Back when Lisa was taking flute lessons from Carol Bulson, who was then the first flutist in the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra, Carol invited us to come to the patriotic concert and fireworks at Longs Park. That was probably 1986. We have probably been there almost every year since then. Shortly thereafter, my sister Doris and her family started joining us each year, and now it's a deeply entrenched tradition. We always go early and establish our home base near the live cannons. My family has grown up and moved away, but Doris's has grown up and stayed in this area, so the majority of our group is her large family. My sister Mary Ellen has also begun joining us since she moved back to this area a few years ago.They estimated that there were around 40,000 people at Longs Park last evening!

Is a flautest a flutist with gas? JUst wondering Dick
Carol Bulson informed me (when I took lessons from her) that some flute association officially changed it to "flutist". Small world...
Okay, I changed it to flutist. Which makes much more sense anyway.
You certainly had wonderful weather for your outing again this year. I enjoyed looking at all the pictures that Destiny took. She really does a good job.
