Danish Festival 2013

It's been a fun Danish Festival Weekend! Nice weather, good music, parades, crafts and fellowship with friends.

Thursday: Opening of the Festival at the Flag Pole with the Danish Band Concert at the gazebo with an ice cream social.

Friday:  Arts and Crafts show with Mary and my friend Deann, Fairy Tale Parade, and one of my favorite activities the Flat River Band Concert.  They are so good!

 




Saturday: The Grand Dansk Parade. We had friends here to enjoy the festivities. Again, nice weather and a fun parade. Had lunch at church and spent time at the craft show. By then we all needed a nap. Jeff and I attended the W Michigan Chorale concert and then picked up Mary and had Pizza Hut for dinner.

Earlier this week Jeff and I went to a movie screening for "The Ultimate Life". It was pretty good. It will be in the theatres on September 6th.  The theatre had plug ins for electric cars.  Never saw this before.
 




Mary is home for a few weeks before we move her back to Ann Arbor for her senior year at Michigan! Time has flown.  It is nice spending time with the kids when they are home.  Next week we are driving to Toledo to see "Wicked" with the girls.  I can't wait.  We've wanted to see that for a long time.

Matthew has moved in to his new apartment with 3 of his friends.  He is excited and we are so happy for him.  He gave us a tour via Skype this morning.  As expected his room is on very good order.   Now that he is living in a furnished apartment with a fridge, he doesn't have to eat PBJ every day.  She loves her job and the kids. She spent one day in the rain for 5 hours!

Sarah has had a few busy weeks.  Lots of testing for research projects, the professors and her own for her thesis. High school football practice has started so she is back caring for the student athletes of Summerfield High School.

Guess that about does it for this entry.  Have a good week!
