Radio program
Hi friends, just wanted to let you know about an e-mail I got today from my son. He has come across a program on the radio that must be like a swap shop, called "Junk in my trunk" on the Kansas City station KCXL 1140 on the dial. Some of you in the area might want to check it out, it is on Sat. 9:00-10:00 and Mondays and Thursdays 10:00 - 11:00 I plan on checking it out myself. Hope you all have a good night. Love ya, Virginia
Where's the art?!?!?!
Windsor Castle
From Wikopedia
Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation.[1] The castle's floor area is approximately 484,000 square feet (about 45,000 square metres).[2]
Together with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, it is one of the principal official residences of the British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II spends many weekends of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private entertaining. Her other two residences, Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle, are the Royal Family's private homes.
Most of the Kings and Queens of England, later Kings and Queens of Great Britain, and later still kings and queens of the Commonwealth realms, have had a direct influence on the construction and evolution of the castle, which has been their garrison fortress, home, official palace, and sometimes their prison. The castle's history and that of the British monarchy are inextricably linked. Chronologically the history of the castle can be traced through the reigns of the monarchs who have occupied it. When the country has been at peace, the castle has been expanded by the additions of large and grand apartments; when the country has been at war, the castle has been more heavily fortified. This pattern has continued to the present day.
