And Quiet Time Too

Family

It was a weekend of ceremonies and celebrations for both of our granddaughters. We were honored to be present for their significant moments and to celebrate with family and friends but have also enjoyed the quiet moments too. Learning about how to make slime, or the coolness of the Percy Jackson novels, pizza and movie night, and making Cuban sandwiches. We left them with a link to the past with hand tooled leather fobs attached to usb drives with audio books both crafted by their Great Grandpa Bud. He’d read books onto cassette tapes as gifts to family members in 1984 later converted to mp3 files and in 2017 crafted a leather fob for every family member. As always, we delighted in bridging the generations, learning from our granddaughters and regaling them with stories from generations past.

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
