REMIAN RAIDERS winners of the Level Next Talent Hunters Football tournament. Here is the trophy they worked hard for. Akib, the captain on the left, and Afif the team manager on the right, are quite happy!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BROTHER BOB!
Bob an I are both 60 years old. That makes us Irish twins. Irish twins are siblings that share the same age for a period of time, meaning of course that they were born less than a year apart. It is interesting that Alice and her sister are at this time both 61 years old. I don’t know if Bob was born at Noon, but if so, he was born smack in the middle of the year. That means this afternoon we are sailing into the second half of 2009!!
Here is a photo of Bob with his wife Rachel.

SARA & REGINA, friends we met on the Annapurna trail, at a rest stop between Pokhara and Kathmandu, and again later in Kathmandu.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to my wife, Alice.
Now I am again living with an older woman. I follow close behind her, since I will turn 61 in August!
Here she is having fun with a Nepali lady, likely about all the photos I was taking!
NICE VASE
The footballers gave us this vase as a 40th anniv. gift. I then had it filled with 20 roses. Note two of our grandsons playing football in the right side background.
FOURTIETH ANNIVERSARY COUPLE
We celebrated with our family on the rooftop of a restaurant under a section of tin roof in a torrential downpour! Precious memories. Some amazing lightning and thunder.

SANTOSHI, my Nepali daughter! She works at the trekking company that arranged out trek. She is a very fine young lady, who does a wonderful job. It was a pleasure to become acquainted with her. She made sure we were well taken care of. I think she was a little worried about us trekking, though very pleased when she found out we had a wonderful time trekking 4 days in the Anapurna area.
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.
ELECTRICIAN
Sayeed came to install an IPS that was donated by a friend. An IPS builds up charge while the electricity is available and then when electricity shuts down it runs fans and lights etc. With this option the power outages in the middle of a 100 degree day are more bearable since the fans are still running. We went 19 months without one. Finally during this season when we lost our electricity every hour for an hour we hooked up the IPS and battery which generous friends shared with this. Ironically it has been hooked up for a week. Immediately when it was hooked up we had some rains it cooled down for three days, and until today we only had one outage which lasted for an hour.
