My wife Cathy (left) and daughter-in-law Anastasia (second from right) have learned to belly dance through classes offered by our Parks and Recreation Department. (My daughter Katie has also learned to belly dance through these classes, but is not participating this quarter because of her work schedule.) Their instructor, Amira (second from left) is a very experienced teacher and performer. The fourth performer pictured is their classmate Emily (right).

Tonight Cathy and Anastasia will be performing along with other belly dance troupes (including professional dancers) at Carco Theater. (The show is at 6:00 PM. Tickets are $10.00, and there were about 100 seats left at last count. Proceeds from the ticket sales benefit “Friends of the Children- King County”, a student mentoring program )

Renton Reporter covers new store openings at the Landing; merchants like family-friendly environment

Celeste Gracey of the Renton Reporter included some interesting interviews in her story yesterday about the six new businesses coming to the Landing.

I strongly agree with the viewpoint offered by Donna Jones and Dr. Evie Lawson, who are opening “Eyes on the Landing.” They are confident that the Landing’s family-friendly feel and easy access will make it a perfect location for their stylish optometry. You can find more of their sentiments, and interviews with others, in the Renton Reporter story.

(Above photo owned, hosted, and linked from rentonreporter.com) Dr. Evie Lawson (left) and Donna Jones will be opening Eyes on the Landing next month. I’m particularly enthusiastic about this store opening, as Donna Jones is family (my daughter’s mother-in-law.)

Here is one of my earlier journal entries about “Eyes on the Landing.”
