Day 161

MYSELF WITH AUSTIN’S FAMILY just before good-byes are said.  They are leaving at 3 in the morning for the airport heading home to Canton, Ohio, U.S.A.  It was nice to have them here the last 29 months.  It will be different when we return in the fall and they won’t be here.  Alice was the photographer so she couldn’t be in the photo.  Alice had fixed a great breakfast casserole for our supper along with her special grape-nut pudding.

Day 7

MO MO MAKING LESSONS at the Hot Stimulating in Darjeeling.  This activity which was mentioned in the “Lonely Planet” was enjoyed by Austin (my son) and I.  We each bought Mo Mo steamers and are planning a family Mo Mo party for this weekend.  Pruit (our grandson) asked if we could show him how to make them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN

Last night we celebrated Austin’s (July 19 B.D.) and Dustin’s (July 24 B.D.).  Austin turned 36 and Dustin 34 years old.  Each blowing out their candle with one blow.  It was a Pistacchio cake.  Of course Alice fixed her excellent smoked chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, as well as hot and cold vegetables.   It was a good time to catch up with Austin’s who had just returned from Bali, Indonesia on Tuesday evening.

Day 44

FRENCH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT

We spent most of the day at this tournament.  It was for ages 6-16 with six schools participating.  Jensen and Pruitt, two of our grandsons played.  Neither of their teams made it past the qualifying rounds.  They were still excited to receive a participation medallion as well as a book bag with goodies in it: cap, tee-shirt, pen, scarf, etc
