Tonight, Lady took the group to her university for a Christmas program for students in the ENglish Department. About 250 students came. Katrina did a great job with a power point presentation telling the history, meaning, and traditions of Christmas. During part of it, Lady and our friends did their musical. It was a great evening, according to Lady. I was home sleeping in the warm bed. Now that Lady is home, I am ready to play, but she wants to go to bed! Posted by Picasa

Here's Candi and Ellery doing the play. Posted by Picasa

Wow! Look at all those students! My guests went to the #2 high school for two programs today of 400 students each. Their strength came from Someone else, because three have been sick. These kids had no idea what Christmas was about. They were so excited and so attentive! Posted by Picasa
