North Park College Christmas Concert & hot wings

Well, Jerry did it to us again.

Hey everyone, How about we go to the North Park College Christmas Concert with all the Holiday songs?

Sure we want to hear all those old songs, you know like Rudolph and Jingle bells.

So we all coughed up $15 a piece, got into our cars and drove to North Park.

Last year we went there for a St. Lucia celebration. Thats where some brave young lady walked into the concert hall with a crown of Burning candles.

North Park College is a Swedish Covenant school. A lot of the students are Swedish from small Wisconsin Minnesota and other Northern states. Except for the basketball team and football.

But anyways we drove thru a slight snow storm which gave the impression of a White Christmas.

It was a sell out and we were able to get good seats as we used force to race in as the doors opened.

Once the music started we were greeted with: Swedish, Dutch, German, Latin? and Classical Christmas tunes. Not one Rudolph nor Here comes Santa Claus or dreaming of a white Christmas.

The had their choir of about 50 students. An orchestra of about 30 string instruments.
and the music made us think we were at an Opera.

Just Wally fell to sleep and woke up at the end for Mandelsons---Merriah? Messiah? Yes, that was it.

Then it was over.

LETS GET A BEER. We drove to some Hot Chicken wing restaurant. As we walked thru the
restaurant we noticed we were the oldest by 30years. Ok, maybe 35years.

The food was good.

I had a HEALTHY chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese and tomato.

For drinks I had a wonderful Premium Margarita. Wow was it smooth and tasty, it went well with my Pepsi no ice.

Others had the wings and burgers and all agreed it was a good joint to go to. Price about $32 per couple including tip.

Now I'm home at Midnight and ready for bed.

Got to go to sleep as we have an Ellisons restaurant with the Boyles tomorrow morning at 8:30am.
