Friday Night Party Time

...or not. Actually, what I did with my Friday evening was go to the nursing home again. I heard that the Amish young people were going to be caroling there. I heard them last year and really enjoyed their singing style, so didn't want to miss out. They lined up in the hall, girls on one side, boys on the other, and sang in their unique way. Once when they were deciding which song to sing next, I asked if they had sung a song last year something about Star of Bethlehem. One of the adult ladies asked if I meant "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem", then she found the page number. Several pairs of eyes looked at me. That was the precise moment I realized that in the Amish community, the person who chooses the song starts each verse of it. Here, I'd thought that was just the way they practiced their songs. The lady had mercy, tho, and started it for me.
