Wow this is really fun! With all of us on the blog we can really keep up with everyone at once. I love hearing about the day to day activities of everyones lives. I'm so happy to see Rama's family joining in the fun.
We are getting used to the cold weather again. Rama, I don't know how you survive in the Chicago cold weather. You are much braver than I am. We are settling back into our busy life style, but we are missing everyone so much. Today I made myself a south Indian coffee and called my sister to reminisce about our trip. Last Thursday I prepared a class on India for Sanjay's classmates. I had a really bad sorethroat so Siva left work and taught the class for me. We had a great time. The children were so engage and already knew many interesting facts. Next week we are going to go over the geography of India. I also have a video about children going to school in India. After the children see the video the children will compare and contrast going to school in India with going to school in the USA in an essay. I gave the kids appulum for a snack and they ate every bit of it. I'm not sure yet what I will bring next time for a snack. This weekend I made a big pot of Sujatha's eggplant, onion, and radish sambar, but I put too much sambar powder in it. I'll try again tomorrow. On Monday night my parents and my sister's family are all coming over so we can talk about our trip to India. My parents are excited to hear all the stories.
Suja, can't wait to hear if you got anything at the Sukra. If you have something made please take a picture of it and post it in the blog so I can see it. I love your designs. I am really enjoying having my ring fixed. I keep looking at it like newly betrothed girls do. I can't thank you all enough for helping me to get it fixed. Kimm loves her new amethyst ring. We made a fantastic memory designing that jewelry. That sort of thing is not possible in the USA, but that's what made it so special.
Rama, your rose bush should be fine. Just keep watering it eventhough it looks half dead. It will probably come back strong in the spring as there is more sunlight. That is the voice of experience. I nearly kill a plant every year and still manage to bring it back to life.
Shoba, I hope you had a great time in Coimbatore. Please say hello to your family. I fondly remember meeting them on my first trip to India.
It's late here so I'm off to bed. I just hope I can get up and go to the gym in the morning before church!
Our love to all,
Dana
Hi Dana, Hope you had a great weekend. I know that your mouths will be aching after narrating all the events that took place here. My family are fine in Coimbatore. Avanthika was excited when she gave them all the details of your visit. My parents conveyed their love to you all and want you guys to visit their place and spend sometime there the next time.(there are many lovely hill stations near Coimbatore). Hope all of you are back to your routine. It is very nice to keep in touch through the blog. Convey our regards and love to all your family members.Bye.
