One of my favorite festivals after I came here is Thanksgiving. There’s something about everyone getting together, cooking, sitting down for a big spread and saying Thanks.
Reminds me a lot of our festivals back in India.
I’ve been reading a lot of blogs about how they are going to celebrate Thanksgiving. What is the one thing you really look forward to on Thanksgiving day? I would love to know. Do you celebrate it the traditional way? DO YOU LIKE TURKEY?

It’s the season of Pumpkins.
It’s very overwhelming when you move from a place where you are born, raised and have a big family to a place where you know no one. The rules, the grocery store, the weather, food and getting adjusted to a different way of living poses a challenge. It can can get very lonely if you don’t have anyone to talk to, spend some time on the weekends.
When I moved here, I was blessed with a great set of my hubby’s friends. They knew each other from early college days. Eventually, everyone got married in the group. Had kids almost at the same time. Growing up together and to see kids get along well, sure is nice thing. I don’t feel so lost anymore after a fun 17 years here.
