The Library At Peacefield?

 My brother, Don and I went to the Adams National Park in Quincy MA. Part of the tour is the stone library at the Peace Field house of the Adams family. 


I took some photos. There is a small area in it that one can stand. One could not even lean on the railing that was there. One could see the whole library from that one area and I thought it was truly amazing. I took a whole bunch of photos. It is not as good as being there. It is - in my opinion - way cool and amazing. 










I used the camera app on my Samsung Z Fold 5 phone. It does a pretty good job of taking photos. I made sure the flash was off since it was a requirement before taking photos (flash photos were not allowed).

Tortola - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  Currently I am into fantasy banknotes; especially ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them (it would be neat to see some with Lady Di on them but have not found them, yet). I found these on eBay with the search words ' fantasy banknotes ' (some of them were kind of 'revealing').  This one is Tortola . I thought it was made up but it seems it does exist. I don't know if they have their own banknotes but it would be cool if they looked like these. I think these look and feel like current European banknotes. I think they are really well done. I think these are really well done. One can see a really nice picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. The other is that it was reasonably priced; i.e.., I could afford them. I believe this is the front of the banknotes. Here are the back of the banknotes. I think it looks really nice. I think it is very well done.  There are other sites that sell fantasy banknotes. I have a

Book On George Washington Carver By Tonya Bolden

Image
          I found a book on the life of George Washington Carver  (Wikipedia link). It was not overly detailed but it does talk about his life and accomplishments. I think there are some really nice illustrations and photos in it.           I think it is great for those who want to learn about George Washington Carver but might not have a lot of time to read about him or just have a passing interest in him.           It was an easy read and it was also informative. It could lead someone to read more about him. I have an ebook on him that has more details about his life (subject of another post / blog).          I found it at the Thriftbooks (they have a lot of books at great prices) for a great price (not many left at the site - just click on the link). They have other books  (link on a search using his name) on him too.  Even the back of it is really nice. It has a photo of George Washington Carver.          One can also get it at Amazon  (Amazon link). They have a pretty good price

Barbuda - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  I think that I might have gotten carried away; especially on fantasy banknotes that have a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I have found some like this on eBay .  One of these are the Barbuda fantasy banknotes. I think they are really cool looking and look so real; like European ones that they have now. I thought it was a place that didn't exist but it seems that it does; Barbuda . I do not know if they have their own money but it would be cool if it looked like this.  I think it looks really neat. I like how it has a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. I think this is the front of them.  I believe this is the bank of them. It feels like the current banknotes from Europe.  I got them from eBay using the search words ' fantasy banknotes '. There was a lot of fantasy banknotes there (some were rather revealing).  There are websites that carry fantasy banknotes. I have some of them listed in my post about Aldabra Islan
