people are outta here
Umm.. I don't want to complain, but...MY PEOPLE ARE GONE FROM ME! AND I MISS THEM! Liz and Nate just moved up to Roger's Park this weekend, Liza and Brent will be up in Evanston very soon, and I still miss the 'Susayns' from when they moved in January. I wish I could just say, "Come back to me! Please?" But I can't. Lives keep moving in their own directions. There needs to be some serious visiting though. I love all the people that are still here in Shampoo-Banana (and those that have returned! yeah!), but no one can really replace any specific person that I miss. Here are a couple pictures from good times together with friends. I love you guys! Such wonderful helpers of humanity. Striving to build community and quietly doing great things for each other and the Baha'is here. Heroes, heroines, and champions all. And I've never had so much fun in a Baha'i community!
Here's everyone together saying farewell to the Allmarts

Dearest family, you are the sweetest one and I think you are great friends. And I think you must live with us. And you are the best of all. And you are invited to my birthday.4lucy

Posted by: Layli at August 3, 2005 07:00 PMOh, Bahiyyih! We sure do miss you guys up here. Husayn, Amia and I just got back to town today after a week spent in Michigan and it was such a shock for me to come home to no one in particular, from family to no family. Then I remembered that the Davises just moved into down and Brent and Liza will be here in a week. Geesh, I feel like we're stealing everybody! We'll have to have a little Urbana reunion party soon!

Chicago is treating us well so far, but the no-Baker factor is a definite hole that can't be filled by any of the millions of people who live up here.
Liz just had her first day of work at the Nat'l Center. She loves it so far and now she is sleeping soundly on our bed with the mama kitty, who is sick :( . We will take her to the vet tomorrow.
In order to prevent this from becoming a letter instead of a posting I will stop now.
