This morning Karen’s Dad left us to make the journey to his eternal reward. Our family was all gathered around when he made his peaceful transition. We dressed him for the journey in his western best, including his boots, then shrouded this World War II Navy Air Corps Veteran in the American Flag. Tomorrow is his 91st Birthday so as he left the house we all gathered to sing Happy Birthday!
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.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
Thank you for this and next post! It was a sad time but made easier with all the loving support of family and friends.
So much for which to be grateful!
So sorry to read about your dad’s death. We know how difficult it is to adjust to life without your loved one. He will be missed. Try to remember all the wonderful times you had together and cherish each memory with a smile. For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. May God grant all your family peace.
Love & Hugs,
Lynn and Art
