Dear Eli & Tony,

Eric

 
It was nice to have visited you recently. We were glad to see that both of you are in good health and spirit. We had been quite busy since last few months, first with Nina’s wedding and then functions thereafter.

 
We were glad that Nina and Sunjay (son-in-law) as well as Sunir found it appropriate to come and visit you in Niagara Falls. Both Nina & Sunjay want to receive blessings from their elders. They are also planning to go to Nairobi (during Christmas break) to receive blessings from my mother.

 
Earlier, immediately after the wedding, they had gone to U.K. to receive blessings from Sunjay’s family elders. They have also visited Aunt Ruth (Ruth McKerracher) in Ottawa.

 
I feel bad that we could not spend more time with you. Jackie and Nina felt bad too and told me so.

 
Whenever we come to Toronto, we come for a very short time and have many items to cover. As travel takes long time we try to pack too many things.  My apologies.

 
As promised, we will come in spring or summer to Niagara Falls and spend full day with you guys. We have so much to talk about. I am planning to retire next year and throw in the towel for worldly battles. I need to find place for a peaceful existence and someone with whom I can talk about spiritual matters.

 
Deep River is cold and winter is slowly but definitely putting its tentacles around. The weather is unsettled at this time but hope that winter snow will engulf us soon so that at least we know that real winter has arrived.

 
Tony, I wish you were near but I think we will make it happen by our moving closer to Toronto in the next year or so.

 
Take care and with regards,

 
Jackie send her regards to you both & Eric.
