Happy Epiphany

Family

It’s the Twelfth Day of Christmas! Hopefully no Twelve Lords a Leaping will risk frostbite to arrive on our doorstep this morning. We do have plans to venture out this evening and we’ll wear our long johns when we do. We’re bracketing our Christmas with Asian cuisine. Christmas Eve we enjoyed Japanese food with friends Mary and Stan. Tonight we plan to dine on Thai offerings with them and Jim and Milly. Until then we’ll continue to make inroads into sorting and digitizing all the papers we’ve gathered through the years – a great project for a frigid winter’s day.

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.

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.
