At the Library

Family

Jackson County Public Library is hosting a four lecture series entitled “Asian Philosophy in the Public Square” by Michelle Sorenson, a professor at nearby Western Carolina University. The two of us are fans of public libraries but have to admit we’ve not taken nearly enough advantage of our local gem. But a chance encounter with the library’s Director of Adult Services recently led us to explore this educational opportunity. Unfortunately we were not adequately prepared for the academic level at which it was presented. Although we may skip the rest of the series, we will be on the lookout for similar opportunities at our delightful library in the old courthouse!

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.
