This past Saturday I was able to attend a concert in the park at Ravinia. For many years I have read and heard of Ravinia, but I did not believe that I would ever get to go. All I knew was that we were going to have a picnic in a park with music. When we were a few miles, I mentioned that Ravinia was near by, I was told that was the place we were going. And Garrison Keillor was performing. He's famous story teller from Minnesota where:
All the men are strong
All the women are beautiful
And all the children are above average
He and his band were there in person, accompanied by a female vocalist who also played the fiddle. My 2 granddaughters, Nora and Emma, prepared our supper of individually rolled sandwiches, veggies and pop. We had to carry all this, plus chairs, in and out of the park.
As we were eating, a couple from the audience started to do a professional dance
to the music. They were dancing in bare feet on the grass. Later they did another dance to another tune.
The weather was perfect, and overall it was a gorgeous and beautiful event. I believe that this is what Dorothy meant when she told me to go on with the rest of my life.
