RICE PADDY looking great, so it might be a great harvest which will make the Bengali farmers happy. “Meat Trade News Daily” says the following:
Bangladesh produces around 30 million tonnes of rice, enough to feed its 150 million people, but often faces tightness in food supplies due to floods, cyclones and droughts.
Bangladesh is the world’s fourth biggest rice producer and agriculture contributes a fifth of its economic activities, employing 60 per cent of its workforce.
WELL, WELL, GOOD-BYE TO 2010 Which had to end as every day’s daylight must end, giving us some beautiful sunsets. I trust for all of my friends, 2010 also had a beautiful ending, and that the New Year will be a year of joy, peace, love, and a deeper understanding of God our Creator.

“MERRY CHRISTMAS ADVANCE” ( The greeting they give here for an early holiday greeting) HERE I AM GETTING READY TO DELIVER COOKIES TO THE other 31 apartments in our building. Since we are leaving for Indonesia on Saturday, we thought we would get this done early. I got many invitations to come in and drink tea, eat snacks, and visit. It was a very enjoyable time. We have very nice neighbors!
SHARMIN wondering what the elephant will do next! I of course couldn’t tell these girls apart. They were a part of the photo club I went to Moulovibazar with to photograph, tea gardens, birds at a haor, and waterfall. It was too late in the season and the waterfalls was barely a trickle so didn’t go see it. Also it was too early to see the Winter birds at the haor, but all in all it was a good trip. I hope to join them for a trip to another haor in Northeastern Bangladesh in February, when many Winter birds will be residing.
