Back Together!

Family

IMG_5502Today was another bonus day. We two relished the ability to stay home. We visited with Lou and Peg over breakfast then did some quiet activities. Peg sat in the sun and did some crochet. Steve and Lou conferred over the best approach to take with a problem with the spa. Karen worked on some pharmacy continuing education while sitting on the deck. We all visited Creekside for a bit. Lou and Peg went into town on some errands and canned some blueberry jam. Everyone took naps. Then in the early evening we joined old friends Paul and Sharon for dinner at a delightful Mexican restaurant nearby before heading on together to a concert on the green at Western Carolina University. Afterwards we gathered around the firepit on our deck for a sunset gathering. It was such fun to be all together. We had all been friends together three decades ago when our kids were little. Now we’re together again in the mountains of North Carolina!

OUR VERY

LATEST

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.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
