What I missed, Thursday

Okay, I missed some days blogging.

Here's what happened Thursday:

After dinner, Bill and I went and watched Forest Hills Northern play Forest Hills Eastern in girls volleyball. It's a huge rivalry. They play best of five.

Northern came out and won the first match. It had been close, passing the points back and forth.

After that, Eastern dominated. They played the back of the court and the net. Even though their girls were shorter, they could get the ball over the net.

We were there to watch/support Sarah, one of the high school youth from our church. She played very well. Considering I have seen her play since she was in 7th grade, I sort of got a lump in my throat watching her again Thursday night. She's a senior. She used to be the tallest girl on the team, now she's just one of the tall girls on the team.

It's fun to watch them grow up. It's also fun to support them and watch their sport/music/theater events.

shhhh, it's a secret

Grand Rapids is becoming known for it's art scene.

Art Prize has helped that. But so do a myriad of other festivals.

Currently, the Festival of the Arts is underway. Music, art and food bring thousands of people downtown. Street are closed off and pedestrians take over.

Typically the weather is warmer, but since March decided to show up now, last night was dismal, today was decent for the first half and is turning out to be okay tonight. Hopefully the weather will cooperate better tomorrow.

We stopped by, searching for someone Bill knows through work. We listened to the Grand Rapids Accordion Ensemble. They sounded good. Then we headed over Devos Place to watch Sarah play volleyball. They won the first game, but not the other two. Oh well, she played very well. She's come a long way since I first watched her play volleyball in Jr. High!


We're a very busy city, it seems like there's always something to do.
