I just got home, and I am sitting at my computer with my mouth hanging open! I can't believe you folks went to this tremendous load of trouble getting a floor plan for the house, the uniform, the beret...

Pole and birdfeeder in the middle of the backyard with several medium size trees. Let me see what else did you guys want to know? Oh when I was posting a new chapter... er, it's 1:45 a.m. in Central Europe and tomorrow (er today) is a weekday, so not tonight.
Okay, so that gives us more reason to go find more pictures....
