Errands Day

Family

Wednesday had its charms. The tech talk went quite well especially for a first attempt. We had a good time at the potluck dinner even enjoying some Skyline Chili. Afterwards we huddled under their awning enjoying campfire style conversation in the rain with Rich, Susan, and Cindy. But Wednesday also had its frustrations with the discovery of a dead truck battery and our failure to request a propane refill only to discover this morning that we’re down to 6%. So today became Errands Day. The battery was too discharged for our Rugged Geek so friend Dave gave us a jump. We extricated the truck from the lake that had developed around us and made our way to the local Harrison Auto Parts/NAPA for a new heftier maintenance-free Legend battery then to Hillside Propane for a refill of both our 5 gallon and 1 gallon tanks. On impulse we headed to Wall House arriving simultaneously with Dave who agreed to join us for lunch and a great visit. In all we put about six miles on our odometer. The more time we spend in Sugarcreek, the more we discover and enjoy the local businesses.

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.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

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.
