Fun at Aladdins with Najmah
Tonight Najmah and I danced at New Aladdin’s. It was a great time. There was a nice full table of Habibi members, friends, and family members, as well as a great crowd of folks we didn’t know yet. It was reasonably busy for this dance show (after a slower summer season) and that was refreshing.
I had folks at the table passing my camera around so I’m not sure who took which photographs here, but there are so many nice ones I hope you don’t mind. More photos than words tonight, I’m afraid. I am still really overbooked, but next week looks a little better.
Sunday I am taking some personal time that is totally not fiber-business related, and will go to the book/antiquarian papers show with my friend Anne. I’ve never gone and it sounds like a great time, just to be with my friend a while. They advertise sheet music, so there is the off chance I’ll find some good music to perform as well, but mostly I just want to rest from always working, finally. It was a week that was so jam-packed I didn’t have enough time to sleep properly. I am used to getting enough sleep, and it really threw me off.
I did get 40 minutes of rest Friday. I was getting a headache and I knew I was going to need all my energy to dance. So I took a nap on the porch in my hammock. I’ve only been out there two or three times all summer, so that was a wonderful treat. The headache is still here but it is manageable anyway. My headaches always seem to come from allergies and they almost always last two days no matter what I do, but I know a nap is a good move. No sense going on about my aches and pains, but I did want to talk about the lovely nap in the hammock.
Meanwhile, check out the great photos. A very nice shot of my face, as Eudora, up close. Najmah being beautiful as she always is. Mom (with the most gorgeous hair in Lansing) tipping Najma by tucking a dollar bill in her coin belt. Mom’s friend, Fai (who loves taking photographs), taking a photograph of me while I dance. Najmah holding Beatrice, the newest Habibi baby (she was born in July, but not to Najmah).

Oh, Lynnie, you are so kind to say my hair is so pretty. I enjoy having it long. At first I grew it long because I had shoulder surgery and could not curl it unless it was long. Now, I enjoy it that way because I can put it up in hot weather, curl it or leave it as is.
I am the one that enjoys seeing you dance. I get to think of the little girl I used to have that loved to do her own dance and you had a wonderful smile at that time, too. People have to enjoy your dancing. I loved the long ties on your arms when you twirled.
Life is wonderful and you prove that.
