Aunt Sister’s Visit 

Family

Once upon a time Sr Kathleen was a school librarian and Steve was a volunteer painter charged with the responsibility of painting the library. Thus began a friendship that has withstood tests of time and geography, strengthened by some marvelous book fair experiences, visits, and meals shared. When we moved to NC, she came to visit. When she moved to WI, we promised to visit but we didn’t get the opportunity. This month as we were headed toward that corner of WI, we learned she was taking classes in IL. So we headed to the northwest corner of Indiana chose Jellystone Park in Portage for its proximity to southeastern Chicago. Sr Kathleen, aka Aunt Sister, was able to come for an afternoon visit. It was glorious to visit, to share a meal, and to write another chapter in the story of our friendship!!

P.S. Have we mentioned that we love libraries?

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.
