A gaggle of beautiful young Qatari girls (maybe 13 or 14 years old?) were at the Cultural Village with their digital SLR cameras. They looked to be on a photo safari for architecture but wanted nothing more than to take photos of Hannah, who is proudly sporting her Mennonite twirling dress and her pink Chuck Taylors. Hannah, of course, was glad to oblige and afterward gave each photographer a hug and kiss on the cheek.
When she turns 16, I'm having this blown up to a 8 X 10 FOOT poster for her room.
Wait. What's a Mennonite twirling dress? I'm Mennonite and have never heard of this!
ReplyDeletePat and Bob know a group of Mennonite ladies who sew these sweet dresses--they have long, wide skirts, which Hannah calls "twirling skirts" cause...you know...they twirl in a most excellent, flared, graceful way. In fact, whenever Hannah gets a new skirt or dress, she always asks, "Is this a twirling skirt?" The Mennonite ladies make them the best. :)
