Saturday morning in Waco, Texas, we were privileged to witness the fine young men and women of Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and band march prior to the football game against Baylor. We met Karen’s sister and brother-in-law and her nephew, one of the corps members in downtown Waco. After the parade we lunched with the Lenz family and some of Brian’s fellow corps members before traveling to Bedford to enjoy the hospitality of Patti & Mark for a few days.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
