Scrawny Old Man

Today we went to a retired Black Star's house for an outdooring.
It's a very nice house with stairs onto a flat roof. Here's George and Ruby's youngest, Joel, age nearly 2, on the stairs. He's got a lovely cheeky grin and would come into my room at any opportunity and run around investigating my stuff until I wanted to leave the room, or his mum, dad or sister came and hauled him out.

The Black Stars are the Ghana football team. Justice Ampah played for Accra Hearts of Oak, King Faisal in Kumasi, Tamale and teams in Germany and some other countries, and for Ghana round about 2000.
An outdooring is a baby naming ceremony, so called because traditionally it was the first time mother and baby came out after the birth. Jedidiah Ampah is Justice and his wife's youngest child and first son, and will no doubt be spoiled rotten by his big sisters.
