We spent some time this morning enjoying the view from under our awning while savoring our first cuppa. This is a pretty county park campground near Cannon Falls, MN. While we were cooking breakfast we were absolutely delighted to get a phone call from Fr Jim. We’ve gotten to know him these several months as he has ministered to an extemporaneous group of Catholics in WNC. He’d not seen us for several weeks and called to find out if we were doing okay. It was a wonderful conversation!
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!
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.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
