Best laid plans.

You know how they go.  Well ours went.  Didn't get the chance to go shopping yesterday, so planned for today.  Nope, not a chance.  Danielle's car isn't done yet so ours is off to school with her.  It's a good thing our plans aren't carved in stone, and being retired, we don't have go anywhere on a schedule most of the time.

Went to Carson's concert last night and that was interesting.  The music was great, when they could finally get it going.  Was surprised that the band, orchestra and choir was all done at the same time.  Where I use to work the band concert was on a separate night of the choirs.  Anyway, as they switched from one to the other there was too much confusion as who was to go where.  Then the kids kept talking and it took the teachers at little time to get them quiet.  Then the cd player music backup wouldn't work properly and  they had to stop and start a few times. The didn't use the band or orchestra as it would have drowned out the choir considering how close together everything was.   Finally they gave up and went on without it.  Took Nicole with us and she was shocked at the way things went.   They must come in quietly and in an orderly fashion.  She said her director would have a fit, lol.  Funny how different schools do things.  We'll see tonight.   Hopefully I can get a good video, but not sure if I can put it up.  Sometimes they don't want you too.  You always have parents that get upset at such things, so will see if there is any request not to.

Well since we won't be going shopping today either, may we can make some cookies. 
You all have a good day. 


On Christmas Day,
May you find the child within you.
Make it a magican time.

  2. They did it that way in Broadhead too. It makes for a long night when it wouldn't have to be. Sounds like mass confusion there.

  4. We are going to be far less formal with our program this year...mostly out of necessity because of all the things that have come up...I'm hoping for clear sailing with it all. I figure the best way to survive the season is to be adaptable for sure! God's blessings to you my friend.
