of the kite flying. Ramesh, a Post Doc from
India came for the day. After dinner he showed
us how to make kites and told how, in India,
they would have kite string with glass bits
embedded so that they could cut the string of
other kites. It was quite a shock to me.
Didn't seem at all sporting. But, having
read "The Kite Runner" I have a better
appreciation of what he was trying to
convey to us.
We and Vernon are off to have dinner with
Carl, Martha and Ariel. I have three pies
in the oven, two apple and one pecan. I'll
leave one of the apple pies here for us to
enjoy later.
It is a lovely sunny day. A fine day to
give our thanks for all we have and for
all our friends and family. Many of the
family are not going to be with us and
we shall miss them very much.
