Mugs, Berries, and Gravel

Family

It’s Saturday. It’s May. It’s strawberry season in the mountains. We scurried to the Sylva Farmer’s Market this morning to snap two gallons of strawberries from Shelton Farms then headed to Dillsboro and the Seconds Sale at Riverwood Pottery for some coffee mugs for house party guests and other treasures. And this afternoon we made three trips to Lowe’s for bags of gravel for the road. It seems the Mother nature saw fit to dump great quantities of rain on our mountain recently. When the creek jumped it’s banks it ran down the middle of the road. So now in our chess game with Mother Nature, it’s our turn to repair the road and dig some trenches to direct water back into the creek.

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

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.

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!
