The last two days have been more than exciting. Day before yesterday, got my car! My first car!
Fun part, cannot drive very well yet, am still scared after that crash. So, will go out every Sunday with Srinath to learn it up.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving and it could not be better spent that what i did. We all went to Christina's house and had a great time. My first Thanksgiving and more than that my first time going to meet and see an american family. It was really nice.
The drive to Frederick , almost the southern most part of Oklahoma took us more than two hours, The drive was amazing, as Win drove , we chattered all along the way. Reaching her house, settled in the laps of calm and serenity, it was peaceful. Met the whole family, with grandpa and grandma, aunts and jovial cousins and of course Christina's parents , sis and her!
It was fun as we had our breakfast and gathered around to talk to one another and play games. As for the 20 people in the house, names had to be known. So, we all had our name tags!
Lunch was an event in it self, with turkey, ham, bean casserole, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoe dish, my favorite mashed potatoe and corn, it was a gala mean, which we all enjoyed.
Afternoon was spent with surprises, honing our shooting skills on a poor can of dr. pepper. A walk to the cotton field and time for dessrts. Yum, Yum. To end it all, we packed up out to go's also. I had my favorite mashed potatoe!
On the way back home and spending time with such a wonderful family, where we not only had fun and an exposure to a family here, it was the memory, love and warmthness that is treasured. Hugging and shaking hands later, left for the city in the evening. As the waved back at us, the whole family smiling and cheering, i left the family misty eyed, reminding me of my family.
One year in USA almost and all has been good!
