Out for Coffee

Family

Normally this would not be a blog-worthy event, but for the past year we’ve stayed true to our local Covid mitigation guidelines and in staying home as much as possible, we’ve been making all of our food and drink in our own kitchen. Today we made a tentative first step toward resuming our pre-pandemic life and after an appointment in town we stopped by The Farmhouse Mercantile & Coffee Bar, one of the newer additions to the downtown Sylva scene. We were masked while practicing social distancing and didn’t linger long. Instead we did a little shopping at Black Balsam Outdoors and B&B Gifts before heading off to Franklin on another errand and sipping coffee along the way. We’re a long way from feeling “normal” but just knowing that we have begun the immunization process and that as a society we’re headed to herd immunity makes us feel hopeful.

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.

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

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.
