We spent a delightful afternoon with cousins, Dick and his daughter Betty. We swapped family stories and learned more about Dick’s WW II service with the 20th Armored Division. He told tales of Steve’s dad as a young man and of New Year’s Eve parties at Steve’s grandparents house in the 1930’s. We learned a lot from both if them and they claim to have learned a little from us. And to make it even sweeter Betty fed us a most luscious lunch of homemade New Orleans specialties including muffalettas and crawfish pie accompanied by mint infused iced tea and followed with the most delectable petit fours!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week.

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.
