Memories in a Box

Family


After setting up on Site 23 at Indiana’s Paynetown SRA, we joined CJ and Phil in Bloomington for a visit that started off on the front porch of the century old house they call home. After a delicious dinner at Upland Brewery (a. Best Fish & Chips in Bloomington, b. Great microbrews, and c. Open on a Monday night in summer) we returned to the house where we thrilled Phil with our Bose surround sound system and unleashed a flood of memories for CJ with a box of memorabilia. Her baby shoes, a college paper, several report cards, the book The Story of Ferdinand, and more. The biggest smiles came when she found The Tiger Handbook, an club manual authored by her and Greg!

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.
