Grrrrrrrr...where did my comment go? I am telling you, your blog doesn't like me - swallowing my comments. Even the Haloween eggs post, my comment was swallowed.

My husband's refusing to budge out of office :( - so here's an approximation of my earlier comment:

dumroot looks so much better on your blog. awesome round up. sleep well.

FH said...

Siri,you already know my e mail and yes, I got your's too few mins ago! We usually come to Cary once in 3 months, when my Indian spice supplies are dangerously low!:D

FH said...

LOL!! Lakshmi, I didn't log in to blogger last weekend,so I think I escaped all that but last week I had the same problem too with many blogs,typed twice many times. Today it's going off at 4pm too.More trouble for us!:))
Thank you, Latha told me you are hitting 1 lakh visitors!! So great to hear that. Are you that in YUM blog? I will be there to wish!:))

Hi Anusha, great to see you girl!:))
Don't they look great! I worked on most photos to brighten and cut them to 400mp, some were quite okay. I enjoyed doing these although I had to endure little pain in my fingers but am so happy that it's was successful.Enjoy sweetie.Thanks for your entries.

Anonymous said...
