A Wonderful Evening

Last night....I had an engagement. In days gone by, you may have referred to it as an affair to attend.

So right after dinner I made sure I was properly attired, make-up just right and hair in some semblance of order.

You see, I had been invited to watch my friend perform in the Jr. High Winter Concert.

And I loved it.

I'm tellin' you, there is just something about a small town. The gym at the High School was packed - as it should be. The kids were all excited...nervous and giggly. Man, it brought back so many memories......

It was a pleasant surprise to hear such a wonderful mixture of music. Traditional Christmas hymns and carols, with some great secular favorites then a bit of "pop" mixed in for good measure.

Everyone really enjoyed it. You could tell. As I looked around the crowd, the proud looks on the faces of parents and grand parents, the kids on stage so intent on doing their best. Even the solos were wonderful.

It was a great evening. I didn't expect to go - the invitation came at the last minute. She didn't think I'd want to go. Silly girl.....

I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
