OK so I have been out of touch as the cleaning up for the pack out happened.  I took everything out of each cabinet and washed the cabinets, then washed the items as I added them back.  This allowed me to check the shape of each item.  I consolidated  as I went so most of the small breakables were in one room ( Read more... )

Ok this is where the WWII code breakers worked and played and lived.  It was great, lots of cool info and the main house is beautiful.  Got lots of pics and info.  I would have been on one of the farms not in the codes, heck I cannot do codes except the most rudimentary, as I cannot spell for shit!  But I have a lot of respect for those who have an ( Read more... )

So there we are in Tallinn, Estonia We get off at 8am and walk into the the old medieval town.  Well the walls are medieval but the buildings are newer say 17oo's and 1800 to now build in the older style.  But it is done with an eye to beauty and form.
