Today’s our Fortieth Anniversary! And we are enjoying a fabulous celebration. We woke up in Adirondack Park in a room with a view of beautiful Lake Piseco. First order of business was to travel into Speculator for our annual Steak & Eggs breakfast at the Sunrise Diner. Then north toward Blue Mountain Lake with a stop at the Lewey Lake Campground. We’re inspired to plan another trip with kayaks. On to the Adirondack Museum. It’s billed as Adirondack BIG. And it is too big for just one visit. We must return. On the way back to Point Comfort we got ice cream in Lake Pleasant. Back at the campground we lingered through sunset until after dark enjoying the play of light on the water. To commemorate this day we treated ourselves to a painting that looks like this lakeshore!
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!
