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.

FOURTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIION
I wanted to celebrate our 40th anniv. with the footballers I play with on weekends so I had a special meal ordered for them for after our game. They also came with this cake.

Here is Annapurna South of the Annapurna range visible from Poon Hill.

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!

DRINKING TEA
I decided to interrupt the Nepal photos with this photo my friend took of me sipping Bengali tea during a photo shoot in Old Dhaka. A bus driver who ran the route from Holmes Co., Ohio to Sarasota, Fl. was discussing me with my Mom in Florida. He said it is the fellow who looks out over the top of his glasses. I guess he was right! I’d like to thank my friend Matthias, who dropped this photo onto my desktop while I was in Nepal.
