Day 196

MY MOTHER, HEMMING SOME OF Dustin’s trousers.  In Bangladesh we would have taken them to the tailors to alter!

Day 186

MY NEPHEW, CHRIS AND MY GRANDSON, PRUITT decided maybe the t-shirt would big enough for both of them to fit inside.  It was a fun weekend with my Mother, brothers, nephews, and nieces, and their spouses.

Day 185

CHRIS (Nephew) and Jackie (Nephew Matthew’s wife)  posing for this shot at our family reunion.  It was a good day which ended up with a dramatic display of fireworks at Millersburg, Ohio, U.S.A.  Yesterday was the 4th of July (Independence Day). I trust we appreciate our independence.

Day 184

MY NIECE RACHAEL WITH HER HUSBAND SEAN ST. MICHAEL FLETCHER getting for the start of the Basketball Game.  Well our family reunion kicked off with a basketball game vs. some cousins, or sons of cousins!  It was a fun evening.

Day 162

A BIG DAY TODAY FOR US and for the FOOTBALL (SOCCER) LOVING FANS.  This morning my son, Austin, and his family left for America after 2 1/2 years working with MCC.  Also tonight is the opening of the WORLD CUP 2010 tournament.  The flags are waving high here in Bangladesh as Bengalis are showing their loyal support for either Brazil or Argentina.  There are a few that would support other countries but they are few.

Yesterday, I took my grandsons to the barber and here they are on the rickshaw that brought us to our apartment.

Pruitt drinking his MoJo, Jensen gazing at the playing field, and Riley grabbing his chin!  Oh, also the rickshaw walla with the perfect pose! 🙂  I would have brightened up the photo more, but I would have lost the walla’s tupi!

Day 161

MYSELF WITH AUSTIN’S FAMILY just before good-byes are said.  They are leaving at 3 in the morning for the airport heading home to Canton, Ohio, U.S.A.  It was nice to have them here the last 29 months.  It will be different when we return in the fall and they won’t be here.  Alice was the photographer so she couldn’t be in the photo.  Alice had fixed a great breakfast casserole for our supper along with her special grape-nut pudding.
