The coolies in the market call me, “Luchi!”  I saw this graffiti, and thought it would be fitting for my birthday post. Not sure what happened to my forward post, but it never showed!

Yes there was a birthday cake!  Actually, it was given to me by the Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen Restaurant in Mt. Hope, Ohio because I ate breakfast there on my birthday.  The candle is an amazing Flower whose petals open with candles on each petal.  It also plays a nice tune.

It is nice to share my birthday with “World Photography Day!  I’ll post this today since in Bangladesh it is already on the 19th, and I haven’t told WordPress that I am in the U.S.!!

Here I am enjoying a pretzel at the train station in Bern, Switzerland!

Also proud to be wearing the TTL polo shirt from our 5th “Bangladesh in Frames” photo exhibition!   https://marlandphotos.com/2013/04/26/exciting-response-at-seeing-my-photo-at-the-exhibition/

Happy Birthday, to our son, Austin

A little belated but still in my thoughts!

Happy Birthday, Melody

Happy Birthday, Melody

It is a glad day and a sad day, as it was 7 years ago, since it was the day of my father’s funeral in Ohio.

Here are a few photos of Mom!

Our son, the linguist!

It was nice to talk to Austin on his birthday!  It will be nice to be in the U.S.A. to celebrate his 40th birthday next year.

I AM TRYING TO BLOW OUT MATCH WITHOUT BLOWING OUT THE BIRTHDAY CANDLES.  Seth also had a birthday this week.  The circle of sweet cinnamon rolls took the place of a cake!
