What a delight! As we were visiting the Hayes Presidential Site we saw preparations for a concert on the lawn. Although it took a bit to overcome inertia and to leave our comfy little T@B and travel back into Fremont this evening, we’re glad we did. The North Coast Big Band concert was the final installment of the summer series, Verandah Concerts. The free concert and ice cream social was sponsored by the local credit union and was attended by a crowd big enough to be fun but small enough to be comfortable. We loved the toe tapping music and even got up to dance a few measures in the grass. It felt like a Charles Kuralt moment!
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.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
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!
