It’s truly Michael and Cathy’s new house. It’s inviting and comfortable. But somehow it seems that the Florida Room is Mike’s Place. It’s the music room and it’s not unusual for us to hear the sounds of music wafting from that room as we approach the house. Tonight when we arrived after spending the day with Gary sorting though books at his house we saw the new addition. A neon sign sporting a palm tree and “BUD” shining out through the windows. Michael had thought of family members that would like to have that sign in their own places including our Dad who is known as Bud but now has decided that it looks great in the music room, Mike’s Place!
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!
