Wonderful Friends, Power Outage, and A Memorable Diwali Weekend.
Happy Tuesday!
Hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was eventful to say the least! It was our Indian festival of Diwali this past weekend and Indians all over the world were celebrating in grand style. I had planned a big party on Saturday for all my friends and family and had catered food and arranged for sweets to be baked by my friend Rose, only to find out Friday that the high wind danger in our area was going to cause power outages on Saturday evening!

Hi folks, I hope you had a relaxing weekend and that your week is starting off great. Around here for many of us school is starting this week!
