More Christmas Activities

Last night, Bill and I attended the Shawnee High School Band Concert.  Wow!  They had about 75 students in their band, so they divided them into two groups this year for the first time.I could tell that Bill missed not directing after all of his years of working with bands, orchestras and choirs.  He has offered to donate some of his time and work with the kids.  He has been substitute teaching at SHS for the past few months and is getting to know the faculty and students. 

St. Anthony Hospital sent all of their employees and volunteers to the movies for Christmas.  We had a choice, and chose SkyFall - James Bond.  We went on Saturday morning.  I was impressed at how organized it was.  After asking us which movie we were going to see, they directed us to the single line at the concession stand.  We each picked up a box of popcorn and took the soda of our choice which had already been poured.  It was a great movie!  Action packed, and family friendly.

This morning, Noel came over and helped us put up my new Thomas Kinkade wreath on the livingroom wall.  It has little village structures around it and a chapel in the middle.  Batteries light up all of the windows. 

Noel was on his way to the South Heart Hospital with Mark.  I just talked to him on the phone and learned that Mark's heart monitor showed some problems.  He has an appointment next week.

Noel spends all of his time at that hospital!!  Yesterday, he went with me to have a nuclear stress test on my heart.  When I got there, it was cancelled because I had not fasted.  I was not given any instructions before hand!  I will go back next week.  The techs felt badly, and gave Noel and me vouchers for the cafe.  That was nice.  I don't know what God has in mind.  But I just have to trust Him.  (Bill taught 5th grade yesterday while I was at the hospital.)
