After breakfast today we were thwarted in our efforts to make a second cuppa. The stove wouldn’t light. Sure enough, we’re out of propane! A Google search and a phone call later and we added Lakes Gas Company in Hager City WI as an interim destination to our day’s plan. Our route took us through Red Wing MN, home of Red Wing Shoes, and across the Mississippi. Once at Lakes Gas we had our two propane tanks filled in a jiffy and were on our way south to Pepin.
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!
