A Concert and a Storm

Last night my husband, sister and I attended a choral concert at my sister's church.  It kicked off the church festival this weekend.  A group of 50 male voices blended to sing 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Battle Hymn of the Republic,' 'Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho,' "Come Down to the River to Pray,' 'Awakening' a medley of the songs from each branch of the armed forces and several other pieces.  I could see how much each singer enjoyed sharing his music.  While we were at the concert, a storm with pouring rain and winds blew through.   A tree blocked our road home so we rerouted.  In town, many traffic signals were out.  Once we arrived home had no power.  Fortunately even with the high heat index and no air conditioning the house stayed cool.  I got ready for work with a flashlight and hopefully when I get home, the power will be back on.  My daughter is pregnant with her second child.  The baby is a boy and she wants to celebrate him with a "sprinkle."  We decided on a date in three weeks.  She will invite the same guests who attended my granddaughter's second birthday party in June.  We will have meatballs, pizza, chicken wings, salad, fruit, brownies, cake and cookies.
