Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? I hope it was relaxing and you are ready for the week ahead. Our Saturday was packed trying to get our weekend projects done with errands and running around. On Sunday however we had a lovely afternoon with our Bay Area cousins to celebrate the Indian harvest festival of Shankranthi. The festival is on January 15th this year but given that its a Wednesday and its hard to get all our families together on a weekday we met on Sunday to celebrate the first of our Indian festivals of 2020.

What a fun afternoon seeing my dear friends turned out to be! Continue reading Holiday Lunch with Devi, Del & Rose
It’s December and the holiday season is upon us. You know what that means? Parties and gatherings of all sorts.
