BEAUTIFUL ROSE
While waiting for the gate to be opened for the football (soccer for Americans) tournament at the French school I walked across the street to look at the plants for sale. Thought this rose was beautiful.

SIFTING SAND
I saw this scene near the Towne Hall Bazaar. These guys were sifting sand for the building site on this street.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
This is the 43 Valentine’s Day since we met! We met on September 18, 1966. 1,000 days later Alice became my wife. Those were the longest 1,000 days of my life!! Valentine’s Day 2006 was a very special day for us, since it was the day her Oncologist declared her cancer free, five years following her bout with colon cancer. She is enjoying a dozen red roses I bought her for 160 taka ($2.35 USD). I also bought her a throw for the couch which a group in Mymensingh made. It was parts of two saris sewn together back to back and quilted.
FRENCH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
We spent most of the day at this tournament. It was for ages 6-16 with six schools participating. Jensen and Pruitt, two of our grandsons played. Neither of their teams made it past the qualifying rounds. They were still excited to receive a participation medallion as well as a book bag with goodies in it: cap, tee-shirt, pen, scarf, etc
Pruitt debating whether to pass or not.
Jensen is set to pass the football.
