Charlotte and Eva

Friday night we attended a fund raiser that Charlotte has been involved with.  This is a mission initiative that Charlotte began, with her youth church group.  They are raising money to provide 1,000 pairs of shoes for children of the City of Refuge Children's Mission  in Jamaica.  They plan to go on this mission trip this June and deliver the shoes.  I am impressed with the commitment and the mission.  

 Sunday we attended a concert at the United Methodist church which was a way to showcase the vocal group that Charlotte is a part of.  They are planning to sing at Lincoln Center in NYC in a couple of weeks.  It is really quite an honor to perform as part of a program.  The music we heard was terrific.  We have some very talented young students at the Traverse City Central High School.

 Charlotte had her own solo and she did a wonderful job.  I am sorry for the quality of the photo, my camera decided the batteries needed to be recharged right at this time so this is a photo from Bud's phone.

Finally, Eva came up to visit today.  She was attending a leadership conference here in TC with other church leaders.  She came early and we had lunch with Bud, spent some time together downtown shopping and walking around in the 80 degree temps.

YES, we are experiencing a great warm spell here in N. Michigan.  I think all of Michigan is in warm trend.  I talked to Glen in N. Dakota and they are having unseasonably warm weather there too.  I'm not totally convinced that winter isn't just in 'remission' for a few days but only time will tell.

I hope your weekend was blessed with a little inspiration to give, some great music and a visit from family along with the great weather.
