Hugging Phil & CJ

Family

Our Christmas celebration is winding down. After a yummy breakfast of Apple Buckwheat Pancakes accompanied by Sausage & Onions, CJ and Phil took their leave today to head for Tennessee to visit some of his family. Because of the I-40 rockslide they planned a route north on US 441 through GSMNP – a very pretty but longer trip. Greg expressed an interest in staying close to the hearth so we spent the rest of the day relaxing and eating good food punctuated with short hikes up the mountain and down the mountain.

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.
