"It was no State secret that the King disliked travelling abroad. From the end of the war until his death 17 years later, he spent scarcely more than 8 weeks overseas; 5 of them on an enforced Mediterranean cruise after a bout of bronchitis, the rest on reluctant official visits to France, Belgium and Italy. Nor did the Queen ever undertake a foreign tour alone, even during the 17 years of her widowhood"
The clip above is from when George and Mary meet the Pope, during their visit in Italy in 1922

"There is one enchanting story of a day when the Prince was taken with his brother to Westminster Abbey. Dean Stanley had been asked to show them the treasures of the Abbey. Nobody could make the memorials of Westminister come to life again as Dean Stanley could with his vivid historic sense. In spite of his charm of the Dean’s stories, Prince George wandered away by himself. At last he was found in a dim little side chapel. He had scrambled on top of Queen Elizabeth’s tomb, and, looking down at the effigy, he was saying, “What an ugly old woman !’’

After dinner we went to a night club where some of the best jazz of the period was being played. We danced. Juliet was like a feather in my arms.

Do people realize that Israel is so unrestrained that it’s now launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria as well. Do people realize how little Arab people mean to these genocidal maniacs that they are now killing people in three Arab countries. Can genocide apologists pause their pure hatred for Arabs to at the very least admit this. Or are we going to pretend that Israel has a reason to be intensifying attacks in Damascus right now
This sprawling 1930 home in Fennville, Michigan, only has 3bds and 1.5ba, just like an average home, but it's listed for $2.9M. So, what is taking up all the space in this huge home?
Oh, well for one thing, it's got to be this great room. Most of the letters fell off the blocks on the balcony, but it says "Showstoppers." There's a wood burning stove in the corner, and according to the floorplan, this is a living room.
Here're spiral stairs going up to a mezzanine and there's a carpeted area. The floorplan says that this is a sitting room.
It looks like there was hot tub here, but all that's left is the cover.
Across from the hot tub is a shower and maybe that's a sauna behind the door.
This is the half bath.
Well, the kitchen needs a remodel. You could probably get away with painting the cabinets and changing the hardware, but the walls. I wonder if you could open up that brick fireplace and if the cabinet is going around it and it's intact. Wouldn't it make a great pizza oven?
Back to the Showstopper room, the mezzanine has a very large space with a terrace.
According to the 2nd level floorplan this is a sitting room.
There are definitely bedrooms above the hot tub room.
And, these are bedrooms #'s 2 & 3.
The full bath is on the 2nd level.
The primary bedroom. It has a little sink in the corner, b/c the only full bath is upstairs.
This room has a bar. At least that's what I think it is. It also looks like it says "Showstoppers" on the fireplace, too, and it's the family room.
Here's the dining room. According to the floorplan, that's the back of the fireplace that's in the kitchen.
And, the sunroom.
On the side of the house is a 2 car garage.
The property is 5.2 wooded acres on Lake Michigan.
There's also a cute little log cabin on the property.
I don't know how far Lake Michigan is from the house, but this is a picture of it.
