Thanksgiving Day at Pacific Grove....CA


We thank others in the list like  Teachers,...our Doctors,parents in law,Son in law,daughter in law, may be brother in law,, sister in law ,the examiners who corrected our Answer Books,the employer who provided you wherewithal to live and many others But it is surprisingly obvious to see the wife does not thank her husband or vice versa.Probably Hindu Marriage Act Provisions  treat the wife and husband as a single entity without requiring individual separation of thought,life and survival and perhaps expression of Thanks between them...

We desire to have a family re union every year....and during Thanksgiving day.

After picnic to Lake Tahoe last week,we stayed  back at Fremont .CA In an emergency sent a message to daughter Chitra at Santa  CA Clara as under.
