Last night was Diwali and boy was it loud. The crackers sound like bombs and gun shots. It was terrifying the first time one went off in front of the house, I nearly had a heart attack.
Ruth, Suzan's daughter
Sue and Suzan lighting a cracker
Before setting off the crackers we all piled into the car and went to Metro. Last time we bought food for three days, this time we bought food for two weeks.
325 kgs of rice, 715 pounds. 10 kgs of cabbage, 22 pounds
30 kgs of dal, 66 pounds. 7 kgs of tamarind, 15.4 pounds. 2 kgs of red chili, 4.5 pounds.
5,760 biscuits!! That's 4 biscuits day/child for 2days/week
I hardly fit in the car with all the boxes and bags of rice
One of the stray dogs that live on our street had puppies two nights ago. Sue and I heard this mewing and thought one of the cats had kittens. But then we saw Bendie (the dog got hit by a motorcycle as a puppy and her back leg is bent out, so we named her Bendie) and ran over. She had 6 puppies. One did not make it. She had them in the neighbors yard and I go over and feed Bendie twice a day.
The black and white on on the right is my favorite :)
