PARTICIPATION TROPHY being received after the final match at the Towne Hall Field Tournament.  It was a big event with a band and lots of firecrackers.  I was introduced at the opening ceremonies and was with the long line of dignitaries of the Towne Hall Market Committee, etc. to shake the hands of the players of the two teams in the final match.  It was a fun evening.

Celebrity?

Day 216

REFRESHING DRINKS for my grandsons.  I just returned from a local store with a bag of Diet Pepsi and water.  Ricky, the awesome Remian Raider’s goalie wonders if he could have a drink.  I was more than glad to share with him.  My grandsons and I spent almost five at this football tournament in Banani.  They had a great time.

Cold drinks for a hot day! Riley, Myself, and Ricky

INDEPENDENCE DAY for the U.S.A.  It’s amazing to think that the U.S. was only 195 years old when Bangladesh became a nation!!  We missed the fireworks usually a part of this day, but there were another kind of fireworks as the Remian Raiders celebrated their latest tournament win with a great meal at Kentucky Fried Chicken!!!

Champions celebrating!
