School Concert Brings Christmas Thoughts to Mind

  

     December 9, 2012, Robert and I attended the Christmas concert for Crossings Christian School. One of our grandson's, Colby, is one of the two young men in the High School choir. They may be outnumbered by the dozen young ladies, but they hold their own.

     We sat through the band numbers, the middle school strings and drama, the high school strings and drama, and finally, the part we waited to see and hear: the high school choir. We didn't slip in after the other groups finished, but a large number of people did leave in bunches just before the high school choir performed. Very rude.



     However, we thought the choir was the best part of the program. I just wish my little camera took better photographs. The group looked better than the picture does, and they sang very well. Last year, the choir was three girls. This year, the choir has the two guys and twelve ladies.

     For some reason, a school or church program makes Christmas official. I haven't found a way to get to church since surgery, but our son Randy drove Robert's van so we could attend Colby's concert.

Heading for Ryan's graduation in Austin


          My grandson Ryan Zabel, the oldest of my youngest, will graduated from Hyde Park High School, Austin, Texas, on June 2. Robert isn't healthy enough to make the trip, and I'm not physically able to drive from Edmond, Oklahoma to north Austin. Therefore, my reservations are made to take Amtrak, and the tickets will be mailed to me and arrive in a few days.

          I have been able to attend only two other grandchildren's graduations because the others lived too far away, so I'm delighted I can go to Ryan's.

          Ryan enrolled in the University of  Tulsa and has been accepted. He's in the honor college and will play football. Hopefully, I'll be able to attend some of his games. With him closer, we'll have a chance to see more of him.

          Congratulations, Ryan. I'm so very proud of you and love you.  Granny.
