Triple J Tales - the life and times of the Myers family

Jake & I have been diligently working on the "Falcon". We are now on page 113 - over a third of the way there!!!! I was beginning to think that it would never resemble the famed star wars ship but as you can see we are headed in the right direction. We have been watching the Australian Open while working - Jake asked if there was an Australian closed??? If only I could look at things so logically. Now we are going to watch the Star Wars series starting with Episode IV. I can still remember watching it in the theater with my cousin Christy reading the words - A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away....

Taj Mahal

In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity, was griefstricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their fourteenth child, Gauhara Begum.[5] In her dying breath, Mumtaz Mahal urged Shah Jahan to build a mausoleum for her, more beautiful than any the world had seen before. Shah Jahan granted his wife's wish, and construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632, one year after her death.[6] The court chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrate the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal.[7][8] The principal mausoleum was completed in 1648 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five years later.
