HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to my wife, Alice.

Now I am again living with an older woman.  I follow close behind her, since I will turn 61 in August!

Here she is having fun with a Nepali lady, likely about all the photos I was taking!

Having fun!

NICE VASE

The footballers gave us this vase as a 40th anniv. gift.  I then had it filled with 20 roses.  Note two of our grandsons playing football in the right side background.

FOURTIETH ANNIVERSARY COUPLE

We celebrated with our family on the rooftop of a restaurant under a section of tin roof in a torrential downpour!  Precious memories.  Some amazing lightning and thunder. 

After 40 great years of married life.

POON HILL OR BUST

Here I am taking a break in my 300 m climb from our hotel (Hotel Snowland) to Poon Hill which is at 3,210 m (10, 531.496 063 feet).  I could tell that I was at a high altitude, because of the frequent rest stops I needed.

Day 157

VEGGIE RAP

My grandson, Riley helped sing a song called “Veggie Rap”, in which he was dressed in green as the (green) bean!

Ok, let's start.

Day 152

BANANA LASSI

Here I am enjoying a banana lassi.

Refreshing drink.

ALICE had a lot of fun in the bookstores in Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal as well as in Pokhara.  Here she is selecting some for her grandsons.  She spent hours in these stores while I went out and did other shopping.
