Day 248

MOTHER WITH CHILD  near Mirpur 1.  She wanted new clothes for the upcoming holiday or at least some money to feed her child!  We visited a Mazar (place where a Muslim Saint was buried) today.  Many people come here to say their prayers and to give alms to the poor.

Proud of her baby!

I reblogged this post:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Mom!! My mother (Fannie Jane Beachy Miller) on left from Sarasota, Fl, Mary Beachy Miller (Mrs. David L. Miller) from Kansas in the center, and on the right, Esther Beachy Zook (Mrs. Henry Zook) from Kalona, Iowa where the three sisters grew up.  They are the daughters of Ananias Beachy and Ella Mae Shetler.  My mother is celebrating her 86th birthday today.  This photo was taken in the summer of 2006 in front of Henry’s house.  David’s had just arrived from Kansas, and Mom and I from Ohio.  I saw them greeting each other, noticed the similar dresses and decided this is a great photo-op and so here it is. The Beachy Sisters!

MANNEQUINS?  Can you tell the difference?  I’m sure while shopping sometimes the girls felt like they were the mannequins! Teresa front (l) and Margaret front (r)! 🙂

The Tall and Short of it!
