Here is No Why

Pictures from Home

s promised, here are some pictures from my trip.

This is a picture of my parents' front yard. On the left is the giant banana tree. You can see several bunches of bananas, too. Just to the right of that is an orange tree. It had some huge oranges on it. Further on the right you can see the fountain my mom built. When she told me she was going to build a fountain, I was sure it would be a giant failure. But I think it looks great.

This is a close up of one of the bunches of bananas.

This is a close up of one of the oranges.

This is the back yard. To the left of the jacuzzi, there are two avocado trees and lots of sugar cane. There are also several more citrus trees behind me, and a few apple trees thrown in for good measure. You can't see those, though.

This is my aunt chopping up some sugar cane.

Here's what I consider to be my mom's only failed home-improvement project: the hideous mailbox. She says she likes it. I think she's crazy.

Here's one of me and my grandma in the front yard.

Here's one of me and my grandma and my mom. This was the day I was leaving. Since I was about to spend something like ten hours traveling, I wasn't particularly bothered to do simple things like comb my hair. Deal with it.

I love the look on my mom's face in this one.

Now pictures of Mia!

I don't know why, but she would always make some crazy face when I was taking a picture of her.

Here's another example.

And here's one of my mom, Mia, and Mia's cat, Jellyfish.

Finally, here's a video of Mia and my mom dancing to some mariachi music.

Glad the trip was fun, and that you got there and back safely. The yard looks beautiful!

Nice collage of the Beverly Hill Billies. We actually refer to the foundation as a cement pond.
