Happy Thanksgiving to All

This charming little girl was the Elijah of our Thanksgiving dinner. She is the lively Ruby Strane, my sister's granddaughter. She lives in Guilford, CT and was unable to attend this year's festivities. We met her at her very first Thanksgiving in 2005.

What a difference four (almost) years make! We talked to her this evening via Skype. A real personality girl!

We have finished a lovely meal and are now listening to Cecilia Bartoli sing Mozart. Another two thing I am thankful for. After we finish the dishes (not something I am thankful for) we will indulge in some Dulce de Leche for dessert, then call it a night.

Our attention the last two days has been riveted on the catastrophic events in Mumbai. Our sympathies go out to the Indians and foreigners who were victims of this madness.
