75th Birthday -- Opening Social!

Ed turned 75 years old this year!  We are blessed that he is healthy and happy at this age :) We celebrated it with our Fiji LDS College faculty at their opening social. The office staff surprised him with a marvelous cake and a salu salu. ...and a great big "happy birthday song"...and "hip, hip, hooray"!

After the cutting of the cake, we had a great dinner; everything from chicken curry, talo greens (spinach) in coconut cream, and fish!



I took pictures around the room of some of the faculty and some brought their spouses:


The Kete's and the Korovou's


Earnest, wife and little boy.... Mereoni and her husband (Earnest and Mereoni are the counselors in our school)


A student teacher and her husband (need to get her name)......and Litiana Bali and her husband (she is our registrar--a good one)


Our new principal, Michael Carthew and John Millar, our leader from Australia for TVET. These two also know each other well.
And then a picture of Brother Carthew and Sister Maiwiriwiri, one of the Vice Principals.


Others watching around the room....

And then to the talent show!! There was everything for singing, guitar, stand-up comedy and a "show n tell"...

This was the "show n tell" shown above...Will have to try this when we go camping; or maybe just for emergencies!  It burned over an hour's worth of time.  (hallowed out orange and some coconut oil)
