Freezing at Bear Creek

Family

Late yesterday afternoon we had the privilege of taking delivery of a beautiful new 2015 Custom T@B-CS camping trailer at the Pleasant Valley factory in Sugarcreek OH. After an opportunity to hobnob with Joe Mullet and several members of his team, we spent time with Ed and Marvin learning several of the new features of this beautiful piece of Amish craftsmanship. By the time we were pulling out of the drive it was dark and cold. We opted to stay one night at nearby Bear Creek KOA. Knowing that we had two heat sources in the camper, we left the space heater in the bed of the pick-up. Bad move. We learned two things. One is that were still need to learn how to use the ALDE radiant heating system. The other is that it is indeed true that a heat pump does not work at temperatures below freezing. It did work long enough to warm the cabin and to let us fall asleep but we awakened in the middle of the night to realize we had no heat -not good on a night with a low of 19 degrees! The good news is that the trailer is already winterized and we had plenty of blankets.

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!
