Taking another break
Sunset clouds in England, August 14, 2008. Joni at Cote de Texas has an interesting post up today about the Kennedy house, which is on the market. The house is located in McLean, Virginia not too far from Washington DC. We lived in Falls Church, VA for six months back in the mid 1990s. I [...]
Kids Week in the West End
We have Roxi’s friend “H” from Texas here for the next couple of days. But I just wanted to stop in to say, if you’re going to be in London August 15-29, and you have a child, AND you both like musical theatre, you can take advantage of Kids Week in London. The deal is [...]
New Friends
I did the most interesting thing on Friday. How can I say this without sounding like a total geek? I met two of my Internet friends! Yes, live and in person. A face to face meeting in REAL LIFE. Some of you many know Bee from her blog Bee Drunken. What you may not know [...]
The Lord of the Rings Musical (long and contains spoilers)
This is one of the musicals Roxi wanted to see this summer. When I found out it was closing July 19, I decided it had better be our NEXT musical . The Lord of the Rings (LotR) is playing until July 19 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in Covent Garden. Do you know the [...]
Dog Days
I am not sure Trudy really likes these warm days. We’ve had such great weather here lately. A whole month of mostly sunny days! When the sun started coming out in May it was such a shock. I found myself wishing it would cloud over again because all that bright light actually hurt my moley [...]

After your stroll through the garden, you can have lunch or tea on the terrace overlooking the garden. It’s fabulous, I tell you. Oh and don’t forget to stop in Savill’s [...]
Happy May Day!
Flowers in Valley Garden, Windsor Great Park, England. I took this photo in May 2007. I am sad to say I haven’t been to the gardens this year yet. Roxi’s drama celebration was fun. There were about 13 kids performing nine different skits and poems. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was great [...]
Museums of The Hague
I love museums in Europe. I like how the guards don’t scowl at you. I like how you can bring in your journal or art pad and art supplies and no one has a conniption. One thing really great about London in particular is that most of the big museums are free. Sure, you might [...]
It sure looks like snow to me
Twenty-seven degrees and more frost this morning–it makes things look so pretty! I know it’s not snow, but when it turns everything all dusty and white, it looks like the real deal to me. Hey, I’m from Texas where a single snowflake can send us into raptures… and shut down all transportation. . Dave the [...]
#40 Learn How to Apply Stage Makeup
Yes, I have another list going. Actually, I have just pasted together my many lists to come up with my master list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. In case your coffee hasn’t kicked in, 1001 days is just under three years–the total length of time we are supposed to be here in [...]
