Meet Up at Blacow Burgers
After one last errand, picking up a delivery at The UPS Store in Franklin, we hit the road and made our way to the Charlotte/Fort Mill KOA in Fort Mill, South Carolina. It's close enough that Bill & Dove could join us for a meal at the nearby Blacow Burgers.
Eleventh Night
It’s snowing! We’re warm and snug here in our little mountain house on this Eleventh Night of Christmas though. Yesterday we made the drive from Hilton Head SC. At one point while we were enjoying a phone conversation we hardly noticed missing the turn that would have...

OUR VERY
LATEST
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.
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
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.
