Day 27

Went to my grandparent's farm...for the first time in 8 or 9 years! On the way to their house we ran into my grandpa working on an old tractor WOOH HOO. He's so cute. 

Wrinkly hands on greasy nuts and bolts

Me and cousin Sweta! WOOH HOO

Sitting under a Neem tree and enjoying a great view of my aunt and uncle's new emu farm WOOH HOO

Found an old picture of my grandpa partaking in some Catholic ceremony in 1956. He's the one standing on the far left. I wish I knew what they were doing. No one can remember. 

Found all my mom's old sari's in my grandma's closet and tried them on. So cool! WOOHOO

So I guess I learned that my grandpa had 10 siblings who died at childbirth and has two brothers who live next door to him. How did I not know this? When he was 7 his mom died from TB hen she was about 34. Someone took this photo of him with her dead body, and it hangs on the wall outside of the bedroom I sleep in. They keep it up to preserve her memory, but I can't help but feel major heebie jeebies from it.  

Grandpa with cow! I announced to him that he and the cow were friends, and he said, "Not just friends. Companions!" and let out this huge hearty chuckle. So cute! 

EMU! When their necks are fully erect they're almost as tall as me. They reminded me of Jurassic Park a lot. 

I blend in perfectly. 

Acres and acres and acres of family farm land! And thy holy American has come to visit.
