Today began with taking care of mundane things.we took Eric to Bloomington Ford for an oil change and transmission maintenance but then we learned we needed new brakes too! And we got to sort through more than a month’s worth of mail that we had Eagle forward from Sylva to us at CJ’s. A few phone calls and a couple of online transactions later we were done with personal business.

 On to fun things. We went out and about afoot with CJ. Lunch at Feast just a couple of blocks from their house. Some amazing foods out of their display case finished off with a shared dessert. According to our personal rules we had to order the Tiramisu but we can in fact now order a different dessert next time.

We were back at the house enjoying quiet time together when Phil arrived home and we stepped out again for Bloomington’s First Friday Gallery Walk. After a couple of gallery visits we began our progressive dinner at Lotus Garden, then on to Serendipity Martini Bar for cocktails and a visit with CJ and Phil’s friend and bartender Dave. We finished the Downtown Bloomington Crawl with desserts and coffee at Blu Boy. A fun way to do lots of visiting with these two!

Back at McCormick’s Creek we found the previously almost empty campground filled to capacity!

Wicked The Musical

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

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

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.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

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.
