FATHER’S DAY
Here are the two women who had sons so Austin and I would be Fathers.

ALICE WITH ALETA a friend of ours who is now home in New Zealand for the Summer holidays. Next year she will be teaching Jensen at the Grace International School in Gulshan, Dhaka.

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!

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.

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.

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

BANANA LASSI
Here I am enjoying a banana lassi.

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.

MOTHER’S DAY
We had a nice breakfast at Austin’s on Mother’s Day. Austin fixed baked oatmeal, and some fruit, served with yogurt.
