Today began with taking care of mundane things.we took Eric to Bloomington Ford for an oil change and transmission maintenance but then we learned we needed new brakes too! And we got to sort through more than a month’s worth of mail that we had Eagle forward from Sylva to us at CJ’s. A few phone calls and a couple of online transactions later we were done with personal business.

 On to fun things. We went out and about afoot with CJ. Lunch at Feast just a couple of blocks from their house. Some amazing foods out of their display case finished off with a shared dessert. According to our personal rules we had to order the Tiramisu but we can in fact now order a different dessert next time.

We were back at the house enjoying quiet time together when Phil arrived home and we stepped out again for Bloomington’s First Friday Gallery Walk. After a couple of gallery visits we began our progressive dinner at Lotus Garden, then on to Serendipity Martini Bar for cocktails and a visit with CJ and Phil’s friend and bartender Dave. We finished the Downtown Bloomington Crawl with desserts and coffee at Blu Boy. A fun way to do lots of visiting with these two!

Back at McCormick’s Creek we found the previously almost empty campground filled to capacity!

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.

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.
