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.

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.
