After gray skies on Sunday, pouring rain all day Monday, snow flurries all day Tuesday, we are excited to see blue skies and sunshine. We started the day with a fire in the wood stove and blankets on the lap.At noon we still have a little bit of snow in a shady spot on the love seat on the deck but the temperature is up to 40F. Probably still too wet outside to get back to the yard jobs but a good day to dig in the closet to find the wonderful trimmings that will herald the coming Christmas season. Tomorrow we plan to venture out to a nearby tree farm and see if we can find our perfect Christmas tree.
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
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!
