National Coffee Day 2017

2017 New England, Ohio, Road Trip

Who knew it was National Coffee Day? We didn’t until we refueled and shopped for a couple of essential items at a Shell station where we were offered free coffee! Now it’s on our calendar as an annual event so we can plan where to get the best coffee each year. So that was just one of several errands including an oil change at Valvoline, an attempt to replace a piece of RV equipment, several purchases at the world’s largest brick and mortar retailer, a trip to a Geneva-on-the-Lake to discover Madsen Doughnuts, Dairy Queen, Eddie’s Grill, and nearly every other business is closed for the season. We settled for a pint of Hershey’s Cappuccino Crunch from the Grocery Bin, a dinner prepared at home, a nap, and a walk to the shore of Lake Erie in the wind to marvel at the surf, and s geocache at the northwest corner of Ashtabula County.

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.
