'Tis the Season
If you were one of the people hit by yesterday's amazing snow storm, then right about now you might be craving a place that is not covered in fluffy white stuff. Well! I just happen to have the perfect remedy for your winter blahs. My mom's been scanning some old slides from Jamaica, and I managed to get copies. Perhaps some Jamaican photos will lift your spirits!
Not sure who this lady is – a friend of the family I guess, visiting another family member's home.
My Aunt Eleanor (holding the swimming tube) visiting her sister's home.
This is the house my mom grew up in.
And this is my mom, with some lovely gerberas in the the background. These flowers grew in the garden in front of their house.
There! Feel better now? ;)
The first photo reminds me of the Solomon Islands (in the sourth west pacific - north of australia, and 6 degrees south of the equator). I lived there for 4 years. The jungles were just like that in the photo. The houses were different. They were built above ground, and there was no running hot water. Only cold water. There a lot more coconut palms though.

Gorgeous pictures.
And, no, I don't feel better now. I'd feel better if I were actually there!
