party on
I had a great day today! Red Grammar! Angeline and family (childhood friend to the point of sisterhood)! Grand opening of the Baha'i Center where Red Grammar sang 'Blessed is the spot', and it really felt blessed. (Can't really put an exclamation point after that, being a prayer and all, but it was mighty anyways) Dinner with great friends at Biaggi's (my favorite restaurant) and lots of laughing! Wow! And tomorrow's another day full of (hopefully) great stuff. Here are some pictures of the festivities:
Maya and Jordan (Angeline's nephew)
Lisa and Alex from Springfield area at the grand opening
Bill Clark and Mike Lang jammin in the kid's room (Isabella and Jordan in the foreground)
Husayn, Scott, and Allen at the grand opening
Carlton and granddaughters Emily and Alicia
Ghodsi's amazing food sculpture (of which this is only a small sample)
obligatory cutie Maya picture
I'm getting a picture of Red Grammar! (He kind of blends in with the wall there)
obligatory cutie Georgia (and Devyn) picture
They dressed up to go show Red Grammar their costumes. I think they wanted to perform right back at him. You perform, I perform.
Hi Bahiyyih, great web site. I really have enjoyed looking at pictures and reading through the log. It was such a wonderfully, spiritually uplifting day that my family and I had with all of our friends yesterday in Champaign. We are hopping to come back and visit again.
Happy Rivan.
