RILEY, my Grandson
I couldn’t resist this year old photo. It was taken on the river in Mymensingh. Our grandsons came to our apartment yesterday for their weekly supper and evening to give their parents a night out on the town! They are so full of energy.
BENGAL TIGER TRACKS
We saw these when touring the Sonderbans in Southern Bangladesh.
LOCKSMITH
I wanted two new keys to lock our apartment door. No Wal-Mart so I sent my helper to the market and he had this fellow make one with a file, punch, hack saw, hammer, etc. After several tries he came to the house so he could try them instead of my helper bringing them home, and taking them back when they didn’t work. Here he is holding the key blank with his big toe and finger of one hand while running the file with the other hand!!
TEA STAND
Here is where I bought a cup of tea 5 days per week from November ’07 until August ’08. My wife thought I shouldn’t to prevent sickness. Somehow I never got sick even though I bought close to 200 cups of tea here. The cups are rinsed out with water before being used again!
MOM This photo of my Mother was taken in 1946 in Kansas.
