Getting Back to It

Family, Road Trip


We arrived here in St Petersburg early yesterday afternoon to reclaim our property after a great visit with Ed & Jane over lunch. Dinner time found us savoring an incredible meal with Michael, Cathy, Matt, Em, and Cathy’s niece. We slept in the T@B in Susan’s backyard and enjoyed breakfast with her. Mass at St Paul’s was an opportunity for hugs from many good friends. Midday we moved the T@B to Vivian’s driveway and spent the afternoon unpacking from the cruise, doing laundry, putting stuff away, and helping Viv get ready for company. Now it’s time to sit down to enjoy a some homemade chili, Super Bowl 50, and Vivian’s first party in her new home! It’s feeling good getting back to our little 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.

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.
