Parts of Colorado Springs have had fiber for years but we're in the northern end of town and have had to rely on regular cable. Back home in Maryland it was about to come to our house just after we moved. Bad timing I guess!

...but I have to admit I was a little emotional yesterday too!
Love these photos...the "veteran Dora" welcoming the "rookie" to the Officer Squad.

DD will be SO jealous of this photo! After school traffic tied us up in Salisbury so we got to the site to late. Her ONE pic is the drive by at 40 mph...but she got her photo! Love the sunset.![]()

Sunrise.
Winter in England makes sunrise a very civilised hour.
We got an EARLY start since our day was packed with planned activities but the rental dealership didn't have our car waiting as promised! Took them over an hour to get the car from their storage parking area. We were NOT "happy tourists" plus, once on the road an hour, we had our first "fun experience" trying to figure out the roundabouts while trying to get to a restroom stop!
That day was SUCH an "adventure" for us (including the 55 minutes that evening it took to go .9 miles during the London evening traffic to return the car
)! Ended with our first "silly" pub visit for dinner that evening!
Let's just say they "kept the Guinness coming" at the Red Lion Pub. 

....interesting how a certain part of town has had it but not anther section....I wonder why....Parts of Colorado Springs have had fiber for years but we're in the northern end of town and have had to rely on regular cable.
