On another ramble with a new tiny trailer a few years back we set the gps for Hot Springs VA but allowed ourselves to be sidetracked along the way by wonderful and delightful things. But this time we wanted to actually get there. We programmed the Maps App for neighboring Warm Springs and avoided the interstate. We were routed into West Virginia and actually drove part of the way along Sam Snead Parkway past The Greenbriar Resort. You have to look carefully to find Warm Springs, Virginia and in fact the Maps App wasn’t quite sure where it was. But we found Hot Springs and friendly people at the BB&T and the Chamber of Commerce. They helped us find a campsite Hidden Valley in the George Washington National Forest. So tonight we are camping off grid. We have our brand new 80W Zamp solar collector hooked up to the battery soaking up the last rays of sunshine. Tonight will be a test for the new refrigerator. In the meantime it is rather salubrious to just sit here among trees, near a meadow, and listen to the sounds of nature while spinning and reading.

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.
