Sunflowers, Butterflies, and Birthday Cake

Family

We spent a quite enjoyable evening with friends. Deb and Pete plied us with delicious food and drink. Then we got to tour both their back and front yards with all the landscaping they have added since our last visit. Anne grew glorious sunflowers this summer and there are a few still surviving in the summer heat. Al’s butterflies are in all sorts of wonderfully whimsical places. There’s a frog’s house and a white ceramic pig. There’s blueberry and raspberry bushes and a delightful freeform patio sitting/grilling area. Then the four of them surprised us with birthday cake and champagne. The fact that the cake was scratch made and hand decorated by Anne made it even better. It was a great evening.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

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!

Savoy at Sea 2025

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.
