It’s the beginning of the Deck Day gathering. Gail and Lynne arrived from Cincy last night bearing gifts of hometown food. We’ve spent a crazy morning doing party prep and shopping and are now reveling in a quiet moment and savoring Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chip Ice Cream. Shortly Jay and Liz will arrive and the busyness will resume. But for now we ‘re just glorying in the flavor of our favorite ice cream and grateful that Lynne reads our blog.
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!
