SOON THESE WILL BE WOVEN INTO SOME FINE COLORFUL PRODUCT AT THE MCC R&D DIVISION.

DYED BUT NOT YET DRIED!

Day 301

WE ATTENDED A CRAFT BAZAAR ORGANIZED BY PROKRITI AND MCC.   They had me wear a “funny” robe and scarf on my head.  Then I played this hand drum like thing.  Of course I got everyone’s attention.  I think they have it on hand to have some fun at the Bazaar Someone commented that they now saw Austin’s Dad (me) acts just like Austin.  I wonder who learned it from who! 🙂  I wondered later if I didn’t even have the robe on backwards!   This was the first of hopefully many more monthly bazaars.  Many organizations brought items from many Bangladesh artisans for sale.  There also was North End Roasters coffee available.  Afterward we went to the A & W restaurant.  A & W root beer is one of Alice’s favorite soft drink.  Myron got some Movenpick ice cream which he thoroughly enjoyed.  We ate the evening meal at Midnight Sun, a Chinese restaurant.  For dessert we ordered ice cream.  At least today Myron had ice cream two times, instead of his normal three times a day when he is on vacation!  Oh, Michelle this post and photo is especially for you! 🙂

Here I am at the Fair Trade Craft Bazaar

MODERN VERSION OF YARN WINDER!   This was also at one of the MCC projects in Mymensingh, Bangladesh.  MCC is one of many development NGO’s in Bangladesh.

INDIGO DYED YARN AND other colors being blended in the loom at an MCC project in Mymensingh, Bangaldesh.  I spent the day on Wednesday touring different projects with my son, Austin, and grandson, Pruitt.  Sorry folks, if this download is slow, I think I may have forgotten to downsize the photo!

P.S. Sorry FACEBOOK friends, no entries for awhile until Bangladesh quits unlocks FACEBOOK.
