As picnic enthusiasts ourselves, we have discovered that almost everyone has a favorite picnic story. A story that stirs up laughter even years later. A story that makes listeners misty eyed at the sentiment of the occasion, the magic of special picnic moments, or the reminiscence of like times spent with those they cherish. A story that when recalled brings on a warm smile that starts at the corners of the storyteller's lips, along with closed eyes that seek to visually recapture that moment in time.
What's your picnic story? Is it a fond memory of reconnecting to nature and delighting in the company of friends and family? Could it be the recounting of a family story lovingly passed down through the generations? Or is your story a vision of a “picnic to be” with fresh air and warm sunshine offering a serene backdrop for al fresco dining?
