A VERY Busy Day!

Breakfast this morning at Zion Mennonite, Sunday School and then worship with a focus on Pentecost. Grand-daughter Havela is a violinist with the Portland Youth Philharmonic Conservatory Orchestra. They had their last concert of the season this afternoon at Skyview High School Concert Hall in Vancouver, Washington. The concert didn't start until 4 PM (actually started more like 4:30), but she had to be at the school by 1 PM for rehearsal. Daughter Dawn, Forry and I went to the concert as Todd had an evening service to conduct.


Since Vancouver is a good hour's drive from Hubbard, we had to leave the minute the benediction was announced -- no chance to even visit with anyone. But, we'll be here for a few weeks, so there is time for that!


It's been over a year since we've been able to attend one of Havela's concerts. She has moved up to the Conservatory Orchestra from the Young String Ensemble she's been in the past two years. (The students have to audition to get in, then re-audition again every year.) They are playing some incredibly complex music. It was a great afternoon watching so many talented young people.
