Jersey Boys Night Out

Walter and I have seen "Jersey Boys" at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center twice now.  The story is of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons as they became popular musicians.

When we found out that the play had been made into a movie we wanted to go see it on the opening night.  We knew just the music alone would be wonderful and wondered how the storyline would be treated.  With Clint Eastwood involved in the production we were confident that we would be nicely entertained.

We decided to ask another couple who recently joined our Sunday School class to go with us.  We were delighted when Deanna and David agreed right away to get a babysitter and meet us Friday night at a mutually favorite Mexican restaurant, La Siesta.

I waited eagerly all day for this outing.  Our supper was fantastic!  I ordered fajitas which proved to be enough food to put into a take home box for lunch the next day.

Afterward we went to the movie theatre.  The film was rated R.  We warned the couple and they said they would be willing to try it.  As it turned out the language was a little raw but not as much as I had feared.

I think everyone enjoyed the film.  David mentioned a few times that his father would really like it as he knew all their music.  Outside of the theater we chatted for a while, then said our goodbyes.

When we got into the car Walter and I both thought we wished the evening could continue because we were having so much fun.  So we texted them to see if they would like to meet at a place for a dessert.  We landed on Krispy Kreme Doughnuts!  After two sweet treats and much chatter, we called it a night. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Can you image the surprise when the following Sunday while Walter was filling in as Sunday School teacher, David put on a Krispy Kreme cap and totally blew Walter's presentation?  Tears filled my eyes.

I hope this couple is up to a rematch for another evening out soon.  God is good!
