Adventuress

I am sort of a stodgy person very conservative rarely taking risks or putting myself "out there." However, my LW is much more adventuresome than I am.

She is taking a Belly Dancing class at the Y and some of them performed at the Mango Restaurant  in Niles.  Every first Saturday of the month, the Mango has a Belly Dancing show where various dancers or groups perform.  My LW's teacher performs every 1st Saturday and got about 12 or so members of her class to perform including my LW.

Instructor in front.

My Lovely Belly Dancer!

My LW is also a member of the Waukegan Swedish Women's Chorus and performed a solo at the JulMidDag.

Sorry about the quality of the video, I was far away without a tripod!

An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.-- G. K. Chesterton

Bringing up a family should be an adventure, not an anxious discipline in which everybody is constantly graded for performance.--Milton R. Saperstein

"One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure" William Feather

"The test of an adventure is that when you're in the middle of it, you say to yourself, "Oh, now I've got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home." Thornton Wilder

"We love because it's the only true adventure." William E. Gladstone
