Hi Dave,

I extended my Thanksgiving weekend break by another couple of days.  Hence I could not get on-line earlier.

The boys and their spouses left Bay-area late on Sunday.  They really had a good time at the Thanksgiving gathering at my brother's place.  Everyone loved the mashed potatoes and the corn bread with unique recipe baked by Kloumpios.  All of them were a real sport, and enjoyed the turkey baked with Indian touch.  Of course I had to be extra vigilant about their Akvavit consumption. 

The rain may have spoiled their sight-seeing experience, but I hope they had a good time.

Regards

Clumpy and Kloumpios both assured me that would assist with the Thanksgiving meal so Ravinder didn't have do everything. Kloumpios is a very good cook so that will help out too. But, I don't know if 5lbs of spuds are going to be enough!
