Saturday morning in Waco, Texas, we were privileged to witness the fine young men and women of Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and band march prior to the football game against Baylor. We met Karen’s sister and brother-in-law and her nephew, one of the corps members in downtown Waco. After the parade we lunched with the Lenz family and some of Brian’s fellow corps members before traveling to Bedford to enjoy the hospitality of Patti & Mark for a few days.
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.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
