MEMORIAL DAY- HOLIDAY

It is holiday today on account of Memorial day. This Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. Yasmin stays at home. I upload the Pictures on my page of Face book. I have to update my diary entries too. So,I remain busy updating the backlogs.

It is a sunny day again. We go to the local shop for grocery and vegetables. Yasmin shows me how to cross the road. There is a button on the pole on the pavement near the Zebra-crossing to push She pushes it and wait. There flashes the sign of pedestrians to cross the road. All the traffic comes to a halt and wait for the pedestrians to cross the road. There is seldom a case of hit and run here. Pedestrians are given much attention and care. People are very law-abiding. It is good.

Yasmin buys leg pieces of chicken from the Chinese Super Store and vegetables from the Indian store. While returning, I find the swimming pool cleaned and inhabited by beautiful White Americans basking in the sun on the pool-chairs around the swimming pool. They are enjoying the sunshine.

In the evening, we go for a walk in the park. After taking two complete rounds, we sit in the bench and relax in the seemingly warm, gentle breeze. The park is abuzz with walkers, runners, children, volleyball-players, basket-ball players and a lot of other activities. There is a children park too, within the park. Little children are playing around on swings, sea-saws and sliders.

Yasmin has to go to office tomorrow. We come back.
