Remember the seaweedy Yorkers from yesterday?
Well, I promised to tell "the rest of the story" today, so here goes. This was among a set of pictures e-mailed to the office by Susanne Daly.
Here's her story:
"The attached pictures are of myself and several others at my parents' annual 4th of July picnic at Rosewood Farm in Dallastown. Every year we have lots of food and lots of people. The children - and young at heart adults - will usually go for a swim in the pond. There is a rope swing and a large raft, from which feats of water gymnastics can be performed. This year, there was less than the usual participation in the water sport aspect of the picnic - I suppose for good reason; the pond is smelly and covered with what appears to be "seaweed." To liven up the party, I suggested that we emerge from the pond covered in "seaweed" and proceeded to the picnic area demanding dessert. Everyone thought it was a grand idea and proceeded as directed. A photo shoot ensued - with the attached photos resulting. My parents' friend said that he had such a good laugh that maybe others in York County would be interested and that the photos should be sent to the newspaper."
Boy, are we glad you did, Susanne - I had a great laugh, too, and I can't wait to print them in a future edition!
Susanne summed it up the best, for my money: "Fireworks pale in comparison to this!"
