Greetings from Saima Park

Sunday was the annual Kesajuhla (summer festival) at the Finnish Center at Saima Park in Fitchburg, which is not far from where Adam and most of his in-laws live. Hildy, Cindy, and Solveig were playing and singing with the Fitchburg State Community Orchestra at the event, and Hildy was also performing with the Finnish dancing group. So we spent several hours there watching the performances with Tom, walking through the little market, and hanging out with various relatives and their friends.

 

We did a little shopping on the way home, did some watering and pruning of the lilac bush in front of the house when we got there, and took a walk to see bunnies when it got cooler. We watched the always-fabulous Vampire Lestat after dinner and I loved all of it but I screamed when Lestat told Daniel he was saving all his energy for Wor-chester, Massachusetts, then argued insisting that that's the correct pronunciation. Now we're watching late season three Discovery, and the stupid, it burns.
