Busy Weekend

On Friday and Saturday night we danced an Israeli folk dance as part of Sistrum Women's Chorus' Spring Concert. Pictured here are the "Adama" dancers, Irene and Abby, who choreographed the dance and Cynthia and I, willing participants. We learned the dance in less than a week. The greatest compliment we received was that we looked like we were "having fun" dancing.  We were! Sally Potter was the featured guest artist and the energy in the Mollygrove Chapel was amazing. Sistrum performs a holiday concert in conjunction with the Lansing Gay Men's Chorus which is awesome. Don't miss it.

Of course, this was also East Lansing Art Fair weekend. Cubby enjoyed his visit to the MSU Dairy store and especially all of the dog-dogs on 'parade'. I overheard one little boy tell his mom that he had "counted 63 dogs". I bought two pair of earrings. Samples can be seen on lavender-pie.blogspot.com and kuhlquilter.blogspot.com.

Cubby really enjoyed the music. Below he is applauding Jen Sygit and Spare Change. Next year I'm sure we won't be able to keep him in the stroller and he'll be the first one up dancing. As it was, he was tuckered out and came home and took a very long nap at Grandma's.

The weather at the art fair is always a gamble. On Sunday, Cindy, Irene and I tried to help kids create quilt blocks from construction paper at the Capitol City Quilt Guild booth.  It was cold, it was windy (not conducive for working with little pieces of paper) so we switched to crayons, (which melted when the sun sporadically appeared). We were relieved when our shift was over and commend Irene for her dedication as coordinator in sticking it out for the whole day.  I was very thankful to see that Jean and Jan had arrived to help her shortly after our shift was over.
