Today at Biltmore I learned that Cornelia Vanderbilt had married a descendant of Lord Burleigh. Of all the paintings on the wall, I noticed his portrait and asked about it. I had never really been interested in the family before but I am now.

Acton Court. In 1535, Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn visited the house while on progress. Nicholas Poyntz wanted to impress Henry, as one does, so he added the East Wing to his home.

Learning to use the doggie door to get out of the dog house. I ended up having to crack the door because only one of them mastered it.

Meet Bella. Bella is a rescue that we found in September 6 years ago. She was emaciated. October she had started to fatten up. I was so excited that she was doing well. The last week of October I felt something move when she jumped in my lap. Despite what the vet said... See comment

I really enjoyed my trip to Los Alamos. So much history, even if it is outside my normal time period. It also helped that the grandkids were with me.
