Day 26 - Temple

---

Walked with N to Tom Thumb and bought provisions for the day. Left at 7:00 and was back at 8:30. The whole day was pleasant..not too cold, just right. Rain was forecasted but no rain. N did cooking washing and ironing. Veeran came and picked us up at 6pm. Narayanan a family friend of Sudha was there and he took us to Walmart and Ganesha temple. Taught him 56 and played few games. He left at 10 and till 11.30 four of us played. N and I vs Veeran and Chithy. Got my 4th Jack in USA! Watched House serial before going to bed. - R

Prasadam
There were so many prasadams. Three varieties of sundal, three sweet dishes and panchamirtham. One man distributed ladoos...apart from the gurukkal giving a fruit to all at the altar.

All gods
Chithy wanted to know if she is in the picture so tried once more....
