A day to remember

Its been a roller coaster week. I had a lovely short vacation with "the parents" visiting. It was a lovely much needed break for all of us, I enjoyed all the perks of having mum at home, including warm hot meals of my choice ( lots and lots of seafood). The weather was at its worst, wet and windy which didn't stop me from dragging them all over town.

We started their visit with a farewell plus Diwali party at home. This was my first time cooking for 13 people, yes 13! That's a milestone in my books as I can barely manage cooking for S and me, I usually go into a panic when the numbers increase. To cut a long story short we managed, S and mum were at hand to do most of the hard work. 13 people + baby arrived, ate and left alive and happy.

The downside during this trip was my grandad had a fall, which cut short the parents trip here. He is currently awaiting surgery in Bombay, he's a trooper and I know he will get better.
This week the overwhelming excitement surrounding the elections in America has reached its crescendo with Obama winning the election. Finally we will have an educated intelligent individual whose lineage is a reflection of the melting pot called America . Finally we get rid of the village idiot who has been leading that country to ruin. Finally we see an African American with the name Barack Hussein Obama lead America, create history. Whether he succeeds or not he has most definitely given a generation of children hope and the ability to dream big.

November 5'Th is a day to remember for me Obama will now give his country and the world some hope and a better tomorrow.

This day is also special because my S crosses another year. We cracked open the bubbly and enjoyed a quite evening just the way S likes it with family. S, I hope this birthday brings you much joy and hope. Here's to you on a day to remember for many reasons.
