RILEY, OUR YOUNGEST GRANDSON with the cake celebrating his 6th birthday. Actually this happened tomorrow (Day 3) but since I am retroactively putting photos on my blog it works. It is good to be back online with my computer after a Windows crash. We installed Win7 and everything seems to be running smoothly.
HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY, RILEY! Riley is our youngest grandchild. Today we should have arrived back in Dhaka after a family vacation in Darjeeling, India, including Christmas and New Year’s Day. At Nando’s restaurant in Dhanmondhi Riley had to try out Grandpa’s glasses.
JOSIAH ANDREW PETERSHEIM arrives at 12 Noon! A big congratulations to his family!
ALICE AND DUSTIN walking the back streets of Dhaka on the way to Jensen’s 10th birthday party. Jensen is our oldest grandchild.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my 10-yr old grandson, Jensen. Until he was nine months old, I knew I was a grandpa, but never got to hold him, since he was born in Bangladesh. In 2000 we met Austin’s and Dustin in Bangkok, spent a week in Chiang and then made our first visit to Bangladesh where Austin’s and Dustin were living.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Aleta my beti (dau.)!! May you have a very special day, and a great year. Aleta was five days old on that special day when Alice and I met in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, all of us oblivious that someday we would be good friends in the georgeous city of Dhaka!!
Aleta is a good friend who, Alice and I have “adopted.” This year she is also Jensen’s (our oldest grandson) school teacher.
YOUNG COUPLE enjoying themselves while waiting in traffic on a busy Dhaka street near the Dhanmondi Pizza Hut. I walked to Pizza Hut to celebrate my birthday with friends. If figured if I walked I would have more opportunities to get some good photos. I was pleasantly surprised to get a call from a friend in Kansas wishing me a “Happy Birthday” while on my rickshaw ride home.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to myself! This photo of me was taken in 1978!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANTOSHI KHAREL, my Nepali daughter!!! Hope you had a very special day. We got to know Santoshi, who worked in the office that arranged our six-day trekking experience in the Annapurna Range.
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.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my son, Austin & my sister, Lillian!! Here is a self-portrait Austin painted. I took the photo at his house while celebrating his Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of Akron, in 2007.
