Traditions Old and New

Family

Celebrating Christmas with Dave and the girls is a wonderful mix of traditions. We decorated the tree with ornaments old and newer. The first Riley hung was one she made way back in 3rd Grade. As Peyton hung the Snoopy ornament we were listening to The Royal Guardsmen’s Snoopy’s Christmas, the music that has accompanied our tree trimming for decades. A brand new tradition is Navajo Tacos for dinner sometime during the season and the David telling how his Lakota neighbor at Standing Rock fed him on Thanksgiving. And there’s Dave, Riley, and Peyton’s Christmas Eve tradition of pizza delivery and a Star Wars marathon, so we watched Rogue One in the local cinema then cuddled up at home to watch Attack of the Clones.  And we got to video chat with Greg, Rachel, and Linus. They told us they too had played Snoopy’s Christmas while trimming their tree. Apparently Linus was very anxious to go to sleep so that he could open presents when he woke up! Merry Christmas, Everyone!

    I was playing Snoopy’s Christmas while wrapping presents. Great minds, they say.

    Can’t go wrong with some Star Wars, good choice.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
