Actually we visited Duluth Trading Company in West Chester OH, just north of Cincinnati on I-75. Steve’s cousin Mary has been employed there since before the store opened last year. We’ve been impressed with the DTC clothes she and her husband wear. And recently our friend Amanda purchased clothes here and raved about the comfort and quality so we decided to give it a try. Mary graciously agreed to spend part of her day off helping us sort through our choices and make selections that promise to enhance our minimalist wardrobes before joining us for a delicious Mexican lunch at nearby Chuy’s. Now our challenge is deciding which clothes must leave our closet!
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
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.
