Preservation in Mississippi 
I completed my virtual tour of the Fondren house in an amazing 2:43. I must love history on the capitol as I managed to drag that out to almost 8 minutes.

Since we had two puzzles today I tried to make the Wiener House a bit more challenging.

I couldn’t get the puzzles to open at the office – so I’ll have to give them a try when I get home to see what times I get.
