These are friendships forged back in 1970 at St Petersburg Junior College and cemented at University of South Florida. With George and Delores making their home now in Vancouver, Washington our opportunities to visit are infrequent and oh so precious. Today they made the trip north to Battle Ground State Park to join us for a visit in the T@B and then to find a geocache and to hike the Battle Ground Lake Loop Trail. It’s rated easy but the four of us thought it made our FitBits happy enough. We rewarded ourselves with some tasty sandwiches and salads as well as libations and Milky Way Chocolate Cake at Northwoods Public House in Battle Ground, Washington before returning to the T@B for more conversation. None of us wanted today to end. It was a fabulous day with precious friends.
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.
