The Silver Shadow

Road Trip

Back in ’73 on our Honeymoon, we began discussing what kind of camper we would want for travel in Retirement. We made our cross country trip this past Fall with our tent tucked into the back of our Impala just as we had in ’73, but planned to upgrade our camping shelter sometime this year. We’ve talked about the feasibility of a motorhome or a fifth-wheel but wanted to keep things simpler. Most recently we’ve talked about a pick-up truck and a slide-in camper. Then on Saturday evening, on our way to dinner with Dave, Rhonda, and Riley we drove past Little Guy Worldwide and were enchanted with their teardrop trailers. To make a long story short, we are now proud owners of a 5 Wide Silver Shadow crafted by Joe Mullet, an Amish minister. We had a delightful experience with Joe Kikos and all the fine folk at Little Guy in Canton, Ohio. We expect to post many more pictures of the Silver Shadow as we take it on adventures near and far.

    Much better than a fifth-wheel.

    Having received the grand tour, I can say that it is quite a cozy little camper. Definitely a home away from home.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

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.
