I COULDN’T RESIST SLIPPING THIS EXTRA BLOG SINCE I DO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS HERE IN OUR ROOM.

We went to this coffee since it had Wi-Fi!  That day it seemed to have a poor connection, but at least I could recharge my laptop battery!  So much for my skills at photography!  In the photo of me, my face is in focus.  In the photo of Alice her face is not in focus! Sorry, folks, maybe next time.

As Pastor, it was a privilege to be able to do the baby dedication for Carver!  His family sang a very special song they had written for the occasion.

Prayer of Dedication!

Day 350

40TH YEAR CELEBRATION FOR BANGLADESH IS TODAY!  The day when the liberation war with Pakistan ended.  I was 23 years old and I don’t recall seeing it in the news,  but I am enjoying visiting in this country.  Two of my grandsons were born here in Bangladesh.  It is interesting that I am almost as old as Pakistan and my sons are almost as old as Bangladesh.  Both of my sons have spend time working here in this country filled with many friendly hospital Bengalis.  It is a country of 150 million people with 15 million living in the capital of Dhaka.  At least 88% of the people are Muslim.  With time constraints in today’s schedule I didn’t have time to locate photos of the National Flag, Flower, Bird, or Animal.  Of course the Bengal Tiger has eluded me!  I once took a photo of a tiger’s track that the guide thought was maybe less than an hour old!  I decided to post this photo which not only was handy in my flash drive, but showed the friendliness of Bengalis in this village near Mymensingh. We have visited this village twice this year.

Day 349

Filed under: Alice, Friends, Holiday, Marland, Marland & Alice, Portraits — 4 Comments

TODAY WAS A  BUSY DAY DELIVERING CINNAMON ROLL CHRISTMAS WREATHS TO OUR NEIGHBORS.   I started at 11:30 am and took an hour off for supper and stopped at 7:15 pm.  I was unable to deliver to 3 of the 31 apartments, until Friday. Then I headed out to deliver some more to our U.S. friends.  I kept one rickshaw wallah busy for over an hour with this last venture.  I had started the day at 5 am, with a morning walk, and then an hour of football and some shopping, so I was ready to drop into bed.
