Sue's purchases and travels

Last night, as we watched the PBS coverage of the July 4th concert at the Capitol, and saw all the waving American flags, I was reminded of an event at Sweden's National Day. The Swedes also have a concert to celebrate their National Day. They don't have the crowds, or the Jumbo Screens that we do , but they do have the Royal Family in Attendance and they do give out small flags to wave. The master of ceremonies, before the show officially started, asked everyone to show how they would respond when the King and Queen arrived. The crowd immediately started clapping, and cheering and waving their yellow and blue flags. The announcer quickly silenced them and said, "Please, not so enthusiastic, remember we're Swedish!"
