Adam loves making me construction paper cards :) He started a tradition last year of making a Mother's Day card for me every year... here's last year's card (you can see our little Jellybean in the picture):And here's this year's card! It's so fun! It's us hanging out in the pool (which I'm hoping to do today if it stops raining - which I'm not complaining about - I LOVE rain and we aren't supposed to have rain until August - so it's great to cool things down!)... Anyway...
This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera. At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration. Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration. (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....) Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned.... They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!! Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!! There was burning stuff all over the street :) Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...
