How come clothes that I just bought few months ago for my daughter don't fit her any longer? oh my ...,   Only when I look back at all these pics do I realize, time just blinked away.

While we were away on vacation, mango season was bidding a farewell here in Goa. I am however so very lucky to have my ever vigilant and hard working aunt and uncle around. They use to regularly visit our yard and collect all the wipe mangoes and Jack fruits. They made preserves of both these fruit and gave us so-many cans and bottles of them, which are safely tucked away in my freezer. Every weekend, I am all set to turn these golden preserves into something Summery during these raining days.
