MY DEAR SWEETHEART, “Walking in the Rain,”being watched by the ducks! We enjoyed our trip to Mymensingh visiting different MCC projects.

AN INTERESTING BLUE CEILING in a great Bengali restaurant in Mymensingh. Looks like it could be the surface of the moon under certain lighting conditions. 🙂
FARMER (Malik) IN MYMENSINGH carrying some grass he harvested. Even though it was raining he didn’t mind posing for the photo, of course he had his own shelter! I wanted to get the pose in the field but I was too slow getting the camera out of the bag and safely under a fellow traveler’s umbrella.
HOUSE CROW (Kak) COMING in for a landing to join the others. This scene is on the rooftop of our 9 story building. Trivia: Later today it will be 10/10/10 10:10!
A BUILDING SEVERAL DOORS DOWN is being torn down, likely for a new many-storied apartment building. I think it was a building in which friends of ours were when he asked her to marry him, probably 40 years ago. I suspect it will obstruct some of our view from our living room. There are worse things that can happen.

THREE YEARS ago we arrived in Dhaka and unpacked our bags. Our lives have blended with many friends, bideshi(foreigners) and Bengalis. We have impacted others, and others have impacted us. Life goes on whether it is a rainy or sunny day. Today is a very rainy day, which has naturally caused a big drop in temperatures. It is 79.9 degrees Fahrenheit outside, trying hard to stay below 80 degrees! Winter is surely on its way.
CARPETS THAT WERE MADE AT AN MCC project in Myemsingh, Bangladesh. Alice and I had a very nice tour with Austin, and others, visiting many of the projects in Mymensingh, as well as the Taizi Brother’s chapel.
SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY attendees, including our friend Aleta, on the left. I wonder what they all are thinking?
BETH, AND HER MOTHER, soon after the Mother was shocked by 70 some guests for a surprise birthday party.
A FRIEND HAVING A GOOD TIME, after recovering from the shock of this surprise birthday party!
A BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED CAKE TO ACCOMPANY the birthday cake for a friend who celebrated her 60th birthday! These are real flowers powdered with icing sugar.
HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY for sure to Jensen. Here is a photo of our three grandsons, with Alice, my wife just before they said their good-byes before we returned to Bangladesh. (L to R) Pruitt-Age 9, Riley-Age 6, Alice-Age 62, and Jensen-Age 11. Don’t tell Alice I put her age on this blog!
