Hi @Chicken_Slayer During summer time ( which I can’t hardly wait 😏 ) I like to spend most of time going to the beach, and I usually picking up and collecting some seashells and glass stones along he shore and create something with it. @Pummy_Raj I grew up playing carram board 😀, seeing you posted on here, really bring me back to childhood memories, thank you for that 😊. I grew up in Indonesia and they called that game Karambol. 

Hey @mysticalmysty,

Great to know that   And just like you, I too "used" to collect different kinds of rocks & shells when I was a kid, not anymore!!  I guess I got too busy or passion changed 

If you are still interested, the "karambol" is available in Indian Grocery Stores, depending on the place you live.  I live in USA and there are many Indian Stores available here

Hi @Pummy_Raj I do live just few blocks away from little India, Jackson Heights in Queens, NYC. I go there often to get kulfi, but I just never know they have karambol, I might have to look for it, thank you for the suggestion

Hi @mysticalmysty,

Oh! yum... which flavor is your favorite?  I like the Mango and plain/regular one.  They are the best I don't know how to make it.... one of my friends makes at home but it's not that delicious like them .  

The store people might not keep it out in the open... if you don't see one, you just ask the store owner and they will bring it out for you

Hi @Pummy_Raj 2 of my favorites one are mango and pistachio. 😋 

PummyRaj

Hi @mysticalmysty, next time I will try Pistachio... my daughter & myself like those more in a nut form rather than an added flavor

Hey @Chicken_Slayer, how are you and family?  Had a busy weekend?

Quieter thank you @Pummy_Raj well apart from catching Pokémon lol. We had a busy week with some days out while the children were off school, so little peace before they went back today. Youngest wasn't feeling it today, she wanted another week or ten years off  
Hope you're well?

Dear ladies, warm greetings to you!

Some of the things I love to do, when I get a chance to:

- making big puzzles with 500-1000 pcs., never tried 3000, the pieces a too little and it may take too long to get it done ( if 1000 I complete within 7-8 days);

- reading interesting books such as fantastic, historical romance/novel, even phycological or self development books for mind;

- rarely I can do cross-stitch or beadworks, if Im in a mood for it;

- I love sea too much, so I'm glad now I live in the Odessa city on the Black sea coast! I love to be near water even in the winter period & feed the seagulls, for example, or drink hot ginger tea. This winter my husband was bringing me and our baby daughter to few nice (mostly empty) beaches around when the weather was nice.

- sometimes with family we are going to forests, its more to the north, so in the forest I like to pick up mushrooms (in September '18 we went 3 times & I enjoyed it even being pregnant on last month). The air is so fresh and you feel refreshed also after being with nature.

- we like to do barbeque & shish kebab & grilled fish on holidays or weekend, maybe 2-3 time per month (that's my husband's duty, hehe, I just enjoy eating).

Nowadays I don't have much free time as my baby daughter is my main job now 😻
