December 7th - Lisa's First Recital.... as a Teacher, that is

Another busy Saturday.  The morning was spent cleaning, laundry, changing sheets, running to the grocery store, making some plans, working on the final touches for my lesson, etc............  Same as all Saturdays, really.

In the afternoon, while I was still busy at the computer, Bill went over to the church to attend a baptism.  When he got home, it was about time for us to head over to Lisa's church building to attend her very first recital as a teacher.  She has about 14 students, I think.  I should have counted.  Four of them are the voice and the rest are piano.  It was a very nice recital.  The voice students intermixed with the piano made the program very entertaining.  There was even a pretty good turnout.  Ashby was there, passing out the programs and acting like she was the assistant to the director.  Cute.

From there, we had time to go back home for a short break and then had to head off to our stake center for the Celebration of the Nativity.  We were asked to be the host couple to greet everyone as they arrived and give basic directions.  We were both given corsages when we arrived, so we looked like we were special, or something.  This is the first year our stake as done this and it was extremely well done.  They had displays of various kinds in all the rooms down one hall and then the nativities on display in the cultural hall with live music in the chapel.  Very nice and we enjoyed our assignment. 

One of the highlights was having a surprise visit from a couple we knew when we were in Johns Creek Ward.  He and his 13 year old son had been our home teachers when Jason was sick and we had grown very close.  It was fun to see them and have a chance to chat for a while.  Fortunately, they came near the end when things had slowed down.

By the time we finally got back home again, we were both exhausted.  But what a wonderful day we have had!
