School Plays

We went to the High School Play last night.  They put on Les Miseriables and those kids did a marvelous job.  The voices were beautiful and strong.  I had never seen it performed professionally, but doubt they could have done it much better.  Was a little surprised that a high school did the play, considering the language and some content, but it was done well.  The costuming was wonderful.   All in all, a job well done.

Tonight it's a beef tips and noodles dinner at the Moose for the benefit of the troops.  Bring such things as batteries, snack, stationary, pens dvd's, books, tolietries etc. to be boxed and sent and you get the meal for a lower price.  They do this yearly, collecting and sending boxes to the troops over seas.  Thanksgiving they are bringing the homeless vets in for Thanksgiving Dinner.  Rides will be provided as well.  There is an old nursing home in the area that has a specific area fixed up just for them. 

Monday night is the Packer game of course.  The dreaded Minnesota Vikings are coming to Lambeau Field and want to spoil the undefeated season.  Now I know and believe that being undefeated is very difficult, and doubt that they will do it all season.  But I sure hope it's not the Vikings that end it.  Our Badgers also have to deal with Minnesota in the Paul Bunyan Axe game.  You know, it's one of those rivalery games where an object is passed back and forth to the winner. Well, we've had it for a few years and I'm sure Minnesota would like to hold it for awhile.  Sorry fellas.  We plan to keep it.

That about sums up my weekend.  Started busy and looks like it's going to stay that way.  Hope yours is a good.  Take Care.

  1. I haven't been to a play in a long time. These days it seems we fit in concerts more often...in fact we've got a big one coming up December 12th which we're all looking forward to. I like having something to look forward to especially during the long cold winter. We record our second album of the year today so that's what I'll be doing. Have a great day my friend.

  3. I'll bet the cost of the play was a fraction of the pros' That's a lovely idea to do collections, and get a cut price meal for doing it. Can't make a comment about the game, sorry, as it's out of my knowledge, I don't understand homeless 'vets'
