The Happy Winesingers
WineSing played today at Andrews of Stratford to help bring together a 2019 New Years' gathering for the residents of Andrews. Sharon joined with us today and we had everyone singing along before the event came to a close with great food and wine from Terry's Kitchen. Our thanks to Sharon for putting this New years extravaganza together when we know there will be another one coming up on Tuesday as Andrews Strummers entertain for the Annual 2019 Levee.Everyone as always is looking forward to that afternoon.

ANDREWS CHRISTMAS AND SMUG CHRISTMAS PARTY No. 11

"A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO"
Today was the Annual Christmas celebration for the residents of Andrews of Stratford and SMUG was invited to play for their entertainment. SMUG enjoyed a gathering following the performance with a touch of liquid refreshment and sandwiches by Terry, topped with his delicious cookies, to have our own Christmas Celebration together for the 11th year. A fine finish for the SMUG year as we are now set free until the first Saturday in January, and today will be our last performance of 2018.

Our thanks to Sharon for getting this all together for us and being not  only a wonderful hostess but also the great photographer during the event. It's not often we are fortunate enough to have so many PHOTOS and I published most of them. My most sincere thanks to all members of SMUG for their Christmas Kindness to me once again, AS WELL AS YOUR THOUGHTFUL NOTES ON THE CHRISTMAS CARD.  I couldn't finish this paragraph without mentioning President Maurice's kind words and meaningful poem, and the the great song written for the occasion by Cousin Leah, "Oh David C", which will be framed and long remembered. I just wish I could get you all to learn our Birthday Song sometime and believe we need to spend a Saturday morning getting it under our belts. Which reminds me, Nicole had a birthday this week and we neglected to serenade her today...Happy Belated Nicole. We have several birthdays between now and the first of January and hope we will be able to cover them all on January 5th.

                                PLAY IT SOFTLY PLAY IT LOUD
                                PLAY FOR SMUG OR IN A CROWD
 A Very Merry Christmas to all who have the opportunity to view this Blog. Let us all think of the true meaning of Christmas and I hope Santa finds your chimney.

OUR CHRISTMAS "JAM" AT FIRST BAPTIST

Here we all are , our 9th appearance at the First Baptist Church Christmas Community Dinner, and to a packed house of appreciative people who were served a wonderful Turkey dinner with all of the trimmings anticipated. SMUG were at their finest as we,for the first time in 9 years managed to get through our whole program. As you can see from the photos we all also enjoyed our own meals while we were serenaded by some violin Christmas selections, a special treat for us all. Our thanks to Kathy and Pastor Dave for their hospitality and kind invitation.
