Five years ago, Margaret & I were in London for the 2012 Olympics; we also toured London including Buckingham Palace and the London Eye. Apple Memories created this nice reminder video …
A sold sign!
There’s still nothing but dirt for our future home, but there is now a “sold” sign! Jones Homes USA had delayed showing this, because our lot is far away from their current construction zone and they hadn’t wanted to encourage other buyers to this part of the development.
We chose this particular lot because it’s 15′ longer than some other lots, and we need that extra length to fit a pool/patio. The new home is mostly on one level and so has a big footprint, very long front to back; the development also requires that construction be set back a long way from the road and so once we’ve also added a pool/patio at the back, we’ve used up almost every foot of the long lot!
Museum of Osteology
This afternoon Margaret took us to Skeletons: Museum of Osteology in Orlando, near to the Orlando Eye and surprisingly with free parking!
The somewhat expensive entrance fee was justified by the huge range of skeletons on display – and the huge skeletons for some animals! Very informative displays too, comparing different animals … here’s a pile of bones for you to view:
