Time with Joanna

Family

Once upon a time long ago during The Great Depression, a little girl named Joanna lived on a farm in Ohio with her brother Dal, her sister Sandy, and cousins Jack and Buddy. The time on the farm didn’t last long but it loomed large in her memory long after her family moved first to Kentucky and Kansas and then finally settled in Southern California. Buddy too remembered the months on the farm fondly and regaled his daughter Karen with tales of Joanna, and the others from the farm. Finally in 1973 the two of us met Joanna and others in her family at her home in Oxnard, California. We’ve stayed in touch through the years. Two years ago we visited with her and other family members at her home in Camarillo, California and had such a good time we couldn’t help but return today for a visit with her and Howard and another great session of swapping family stories We truly enjoyed our time with Joanna!

OUR VERY

LATEST

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.
