The Finished Product
At long last here are the pictures of the completed (except for a few needed pictures) interior of the new house.
This is a hammered copper picture of an elephant that Brianna's parents bought
several years ago. The plant beside it was sent by a family member when her father
died almost four years ago.

Drop One Day, Save Billions!
The United States Postal Service has announced plans to reduce mail delivery to five days a week by ceasing to deliver on Saturdays. BRAVO! Of course the postal union is in an absolute tizzy. I won't even start on the carriers union. That is entire post in and of itself. The postal workers are already protesting outside some of the larger post offices in Florida and elsewhere.
I'm in favor of keeping postage rates as low as possible. If this means that a few overpaid government workers are offered early retirement, I'm okay with that.
If you feel the same way, let the postmaster general, Jack Potter, know. Send an email-- or hey better yet-- spend the forty-four cents and send a letter!

My View
So, I've been a little slow in posting pictures from the inside of the new house. Yeah. I'm a procrastinator. But, here are a few shots from around the outside of the house.
These two birds visit our back yard (small as it is) on a regular basis. I think they are fishing in the little canal that is out there. I have not found out just what they are yet. They stand about four feet tall and are beautiful.
This is "Rainbow Over Walmart"
I've seen more rainbows in my first year in Florida than I have my entire life in New England.

Pool side view. I've been swimming almost every night since moving here. Pool is nice and quiet after 8 PM until it closes at 9 o'clock.
View from the pool, looking at the building that houses the computer room, laundry room, and a game room with several pool tables. To the immediate left on the other side of the lounge chairs is a walkway that overlooks a large lake. Pictures of the lake at sunset are below.
