ALICE AND I ARE CELEBRATING OUR 41st WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY! Up at 4:30 AM for a 50 min walk and back by 5:30 AM. No sense wasting a good day by sleeping! 🙂
I had a great bean and cheese burrito for breakfast. We are trying to empty our freezer before we leave, and I think the last trip to the market I bought too many beans! If and when I run out of beans I’ll head for the local hotel (little local restaurant) for some dal, bhaji, and nan ruti!
We’re whacking away at our to-do lists in preparation for heading to America. We were hoping to be done yesterday but didn’t quite make it. Pulled out some cupboards, the fridge, etc. so Shaheen, our house helper could clean behind them. We want things “spic and span” when Lewis’ arrive. They will be staying in our apartment upon their return to Bangladesh, until they find a permanent place to locate. I just finished off some mango juice, which we will miss while in the U.S. After another bean & cheese burrito I think it may be nap time. I see Alice is on the couch fast asleep compensating for the early morning. This morning she had cooked up the rest of the veggies that were in the freezer into a nicy spicy veggie/potato mixture, which I will be enjoying for several days. It’s almost 4 am in the U.S. so I think I’ll post this since the 14th of June (our anniversary) has arrived in the U.S. as well!
This photo was taken last year as we celebrated with the Friday and Saturday morning footballers I play with. They gave us a beautiful red trimmed crystal vase.
MY DEAR WIFE, ALICE with the Mother’s Day gift she received from Austin’s. Riley couldn’t wait to give it to her. He crawled under the table and on to my lap, and gave her the gift bag as he said, “Happy Mother’s Day!” 
FRENCH FRIES at the American Club where we went with Austin’s and Dustin to celebrate Mother’s Day.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO MY SWEETHEART! We celebrated our first Valentine’s Day together in 1967. This photo was taken in Pokhara, Nepal. We had just returned from a 4 day trek in the Annapurna range, climbing to Poon Hill and back. We had to do a visa run and used this opportunity to go to Nepal and celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
