It was a beautiful spring day. Since our last trip to our North Carolina mountain house, our view of the mountains has slipped behind the beautiful leaves of spring. We got the truck unloaded, stacked furniture and boxes like a giant Tetris game in the downstairs bedroom then took time out for a lunch with Mary Kay at Nick and Nate’s in downtown Sylva. With regret we then headed for home down US 441 thinking about the fact that soon this cozy house will be home.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
