She whips up the picnic and puts the food and drinks and utensils into containers, which go into bags and coolers. They go into the back of our vehicle, along with the folding chairs, folding table, pillows for our backsides, and carpet squares for our feets. We know the drill by now, after years of practice, and it operates like a well-oiled machine.<br /><br />When we arrive at the venue, everything is shlepped to our "turf" in a folding grocery cart. Of course, we're there as early as possible, to find parking and to stake a claim, Oklahoma Land Rush style. I covered the "turf wars" aspect earlier this month, so I won't go down that road again.<br /><br />Dozens of mini-Ravinias every summer...Shakespearean plays and all types of live music. When we're munching and listening in our prime spots, life is good.

Mild surprise and wry amusement seem to greet the onlooker, who may be a photographer, but who is also us of course. The lack of shame exhibited by the lady possibly struck the Salon as a deliberate affront to the standards of the day. And one can't avoid noticing that the two men are not only fully dressed, but to the nines.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-56659297109186127362019-07-16T10:54:12.662-05:002019-07-16T10:54:12.662-05:00Only way to do Ravivia.
