I am so behind in blogging, replying to comments and reading my blog favorites.

It seems these last few weeks in India, I am finally feeling under the weather -

which has actually become quite nice - no rain and cooler temperatures.  I had

a terrible cough and cold, requiring a visit to the doctor and antibiotics that 

lingered well over a week, then a brief bout of Mumbai "motion", and I still don't

feel up to par.  With my homeward flight coming up, I want to be well - because

nearly 24 hours airborne certainly won't help if I'm ill.  I have to be at my best to

see my sweet granddaughter.  At least, I have five days in San Francisco, and

am seeing five different doctors, before I head up for the December visit with

Harper Ann and her parents.

I cannot thank the Toscanos enough for making me part of the family here in

Mumbai and for their warm and gracious hospitality.  After that awful beginning

at the slum hotel, the J. K. Regency, I will be forever grateful for Normal Toscano

for coming to my rescue.  Maybe he wasn't on a galloping white steed but on 

a putt putting rickshaw but he was a knight in shining armor, nonetheless.

This is a photo I took during my first visit to Mumbai, nearly two years ago.  I

am using it for:

Camera Critters #240 - Indian Burros - Saturday, November 11, 2012

When on my morning stroll up to the corner of our neighborhood in search of

fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, assorted chilis, ginger, and bananas
and apples,  I was suprised to see this little troup of burros stroll by, all on their 
own.  It felt like a scene from a Rio Grande movie shot on the Mexican border, 
not Jaipur, India.  The seemed to be out by thenselves,, without any human 
around them, stopping here and there to nibble at food thrown out for the cows.

Camera Critters #211 - Cat On a Hot Tin Roof - April 21, 2012

During my recent visit to Patiala, Punjab, India, I looked out the front window
where I was staying and saw a neighbor's cat, enjoying the warm sun on the
roof of the family vehicle.  He didn't seem to enjoy my intrusion.
