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:

Raccoon in a tree!

I noticed movement in one of the trees behind our home last night; with my high zoom Nikon camera I could see a raccoon!

After these photos through a window, I quietly went outside to get better pictures – and I was watched every step I took!
