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.
MOTHER’S DAY
We had a nice breakfast at Austin’s on Mother’s Day. Austin fixed baked oatmeal, and some fruit, served with yogurt.
AFTER DINNER
(L to R) Rehanna, Alice, Dolly (Rehanna’s dau.) and Dustin.
Rehanna and Dolly escorted us to the street to get transportation to travel to our section of the city. They were so glad that we had come to their home to enjoy a meal, meet the family, and visit. In this culture relationships are so much more valuable than things. We are more than glad to help donate clothes, etc. to help families of this housing area to try and get their lives back together after the tragic fire that destroyed many of their homes. It is blessing that no one lost their life in the fire. Ten were injured, including one fireman.
JANATA HOUSING in which 100 homes were destroyed on Monday by fire. This is Alice and Dustin. We were here at the invitation of the lady who does cleaning and cooking at Dustin’s office. She invited us for a meal, and to meet her family. Her sister’s house was also destroyed. Her house was one that was destroyed!
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
Pruitt debating whether to pass or not.

WAITING FOR CNG
After a 2 hour visit in this home the office helper and her daughter went with us out to the street where we hailed a CNG for our trip home. This is very typical of the Bengali hospitality. They don’t just say good-bye at the door, but walk you to the elevator, street etc. to make sure your on the way. They feel it is their duty as your hosts. The Bengali people are very hospitable people. They were very appreciative that we came to visit in their home and enjoy a meal.

LOW INCOME HOUSING?
In this photos you see the community where we were invited to have a meal. It was a tasty meal consisting of beef or mutton curry, potatoes, rice, grapes and 7-up. It was a very tasty meal and they were so glad we visited. It was the home of the helper at Dustin’s office.
