My 600th Story

I have not been counting

my blogposts ,since I have only 10 fingers ., my dear friends.

But Blogger informed me that my last post was number 599. so if I have my mathematics right this should be the 600th one.

Times flies by so fast.

I started blogging in April 2007.

Its been like telling my life 's tale

and scattering my wispy thoughts here and there.

I was inspired by fellow blogger and famous author John Cowart

and was blessed with technical assistance and tutorials by very patient and kind Carol-Ann.
I thought it was a good idea to illustrate

my ramblings with photos.

Donetta 's images tugged at my heart

and so did the radiant Ruby photos of sisters

Felisol and Terry

My Dad 's film role Minolta proved quite costly

so my beloved late aunt Sybil very kindly

gifted me money to buy a digital camera.Well then, I set out with a shaky hand.

Since I live like a semi hermit

the cyber world opened new avenues for me to grow, learn

make friends and express myself.

For me blogging has basically been making friends,

connecting and receiving love and affection

more than contributing anything.

God be praised

Thank you my dear Cyberian Comrads for enriching my life

These are apples grown in the Himalayan
states of Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir
There are many more varieties.

Yesterday I made an apple pie .
Since sour cream is not available here
I used home made sweet curd or plain yogurt as a healthy substitute.

I received a packet of very pretty cards and decorations
from my friend Penni which I have displayed here.
Penni is having a Pomander Giveaway Contest.
And although I have read about pomanders
I did not bother to find out the real meaning of the word
and conveniently assumed it was
- a scented purse
-a French hairdo
- or a Victorian powder puff.
Penni shows you how to make as pomander.

And just for Timepass as we say in Hinglish,
I made kebabs or spicy meat patties.

Here is a newspaper photo of the students
of a local Technical College having a
social festival.


God bless you all.
