Pops Goes the Decade

We arrived at our seats for the Cincinnati Pops concert last night to find a card on each of our seats thanking us for 10 years of subscribing to the Pops. 10 years! I didn't realize. I'm not sure if we'll be going 10 more years--not even positive if we'll subscribe again next year. But we have had the privilege of seeing some wonderful artists--Kristin Chenoweth and Marvin Hamlisch (sp?) come to mind, and I know there have been many others.
Last night's concert was a tribute to Disney, and I felt sort of ho-hum about it going in. But it was wonderful, mainly because of the four vocalists--two young women and two young men--who sang and danced through many of the songs. So talented, such vocal ranges, such versatility. Their singing, combined with the magnificent orchestra, and film clips and stills from the Disney movies on the screen above the orchestra, all made for an evening of warm nostalgia.
We went with our friends Bill and Verna Weber who have had a long week tending to Verna's mother, Mildred Holmes, who is on the mend at Jewish Hospital. She was admitted last week, but they say as soon as her white count gets low enough they'll send her back to Mason Christian Village. She'll go to the nursing wing instead of her apartment--at least for now.
We Skyped with our "adopted daughter" Wendy Wagoner this morning who is s-l-o-w-l-y recovering from her second bout with malaria. I guess it's really the first bout that recurred this week. Today's prayer request: No more parasites! Go, go out of Wendy's system!
