Deck Day 29

Family

Hooray! We were able to resume our treasured tradition of hosting Deck Day every Memorial Day. Good citizenship and public health concerns caused us to cancel in 2020 and 2021, but now we’re back on track for the twenty-ninth version of this gathering of friends and family both local and from across the country. The main event is the Monday afternoon/evening cookout but the first guests arrived on Thursday and helped us with preparations interspersed with lots of fun activities as well as good food and drink and some lingered until today as the clean up partying progressed. These last six days have been so much fun with our guests pitching in to help with all the cooking, cleaning, puzzle assembling, music making, libation mixing, dancing, organizing, game playing, eating, drinking, and conversing. As we turn the page and move on to our summer travels, we’re savoring the memories made during this, our second last Deck Day. Thanks to all of you who participate and enrich our lives so thoroughly.

The first, but not last, completed puzzle of the week.

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.
