Spring Break...and Then Some


Thursday, March 9: Took my elementary math team (13 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders) and a team from the middle school to The Cambridge School in Tampa for the annual Christian Schools of Florida math competition. We rented a 47 passenger coach and had 16 parents along also. Four schools attended - elementary got 3rd place and the middle school got 2nd place. Flew in to GR at 10 pm. Stayed at the Prince Center for two nights.

Friday, March 10: I had CSI board meetings from 8:30 am - 10 pm. GB spent some quality time with Uncle Paul. They had lunch with Aunt Julie, saw Aunt Cark, and also saw Paul's new condo. Mom also saw Bob at work in the art studio and they had supper together.

Saturday, March 11: I had CSI board meetings for a couple of hours and then we collected Bob and drove to Chicago. Had supper with Emily and then enjoyed a well-done The Secret Garden. Helped a bit with the set strike and stayed overnight at Emily's house. Drove back to W. Michigan; stayed in Hudsonville at Uncle Hank & Aunt Marideen's house.

The balance of the time in GR was spent visiting relatives & friends. We watched some snow fall and were glad to get back to Florida on Thursday. Friday was a catch-up day. Saturday GB had a women's retreat in Viera, just south of Cocoa on the Atlantic coast. I had a men's breakfast and then watched neice Kim, of the Calvin College women's tennis team, whup her Otterbein opponents in both doubles and singles. Sat with Uncle Tim & Aunt Pat and caught up on stuff. They're here for the week, watching the tennis team, and enjoying the sun and warmth of a Florida spring.

PVH says-Great time and what do you mean that 40 is not a warm day!
Your mom should race for Nascar, that little G6 Pontiac will fly. I had to peel my fingers off the door posts more than once. Sure was good to see her and talk about a lot of things that have passed since MOM(Gram) passed on.
