The Next Morning

Family, International, Ireland

Three of us awakened at Alice’s house at various times this morning. Karen still had her phone set to Dublin time so when she awoke at 7AM it seemed logical to shower and start getting her gear ready for repacking. It took a little while to realize that the reason no one else was stirring was that it was in fact 1AM local time! Once the sun came up and everyone was awake we greeted the day with mimosas, coffee, eggs, sausage, and fruit toast with the last of the Irish Butter while we pored over the Ireland road map marking places we saw and roads we drove. Patti arrived and joined in the fun. We sorted through some of Dad’s possessions unleashing a flood of memories. Ultimately the time came for one last group hug and the singing of our family song, “Here We Are”, which now has even more meaning than ever then Patti took Lou and Karen to the airport to deal with flight delays and rescheduled flights. Soon we will all be settling into our usual routines but with incredible memories of an amazing journey of sisterhood.

Burgh House Hampstead

Burgh House Hampstead

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.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

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.
