    Before you spoke about the way Mina is getting taller. I was going to comment that she's looking so much healthier since she came to live with you and Neenee. It's the better diet and a good lifestyle that's working wonders for her. Even the regular structure of school days must help. Well done mate.

Its ok to have some not so healthy things out in the sticks ( no choice,at times/places). As you mentioned,once you get home,its back to the healthy diet and your exercise regime,pool/gym.Passing that on to Mina is perfect.I'm proud of her, as far as how well she is progressing at school,she must have a great teacher. Neenee,at home does a great job to ,with her obviously.( we see ) The both of you must be commended. Question Todd: you are funding Mina's brother ,back in the village.

    Basketball was invented in Massachusetts, New England, USA originally using peach baskets with the bottoms removed for the hoops. I often drive by the basketball hall of fame in Springfield, MA.
    Next you'll have to start teaching Mina's friends to dribble so they can have a girl's basketball team when they are older! 🤩

    Mina is really coming out of her shell, so glad to see with the love you and Nenee are giving Mina. You got her doing really good with the basketball, soon you will be having her slam dunk in a few years. Lovely wedding with lively people having a blast, plus I love the James Bond comment coming from a big Bond fan. Nice yard you have Todd and yeah, that little tree is awesome and rare to find in America for sure. I can tell you and Nenee have a really busy life with taking care of Mina and the house, the autos, planning trips, weddings, festivals, and so much more, time to have a frosty one after supper and relax, just watching reminded me of those 10 to 12 hour work days going all over the states and around the cities I have lived and help build.
