We spent a delightful afternoon with cousins, Dick and his daughter Betty. We swapped family stories and learned more about Dick’s WW II service with the 20th Armored Division. He told tales of Steve’s dad as a young man and of New Year’s Eve parties at Steve’s grandparents house in the 1930’s. We learned a lot from both if them and they claim to have learned a little from us. And to make it even sweeter Betty fed us a most luscious lunch of homemade New Orleans specialties including muffalettas and crawfish pie accompanied by mint infused iced tea and followed with the most delectable petit fours!
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!
Each stop along the way has been just wonderful to read about. The crawfish tarts looked just delicious! Thanks for sharing.
