From Ebbing to Oconaluftee

Family

Errands yesterday and today took us into Dillsboro and Sylva where all the buzz around town is about the filming next month of a couple of minutes of the dark comedy Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Sassyfras Furniture Store is being converted into the Ebbing Police Department with a Welcome to Ebbing sign on the side. Our friends at Freeman Gas will be assisting in the special effects when the police department is blown up.

Leaving Ebbing behind we traveled to the Oconaluftee Visitors Center in Great Smoky Mountain National Park to replace Karen’s parks pass and to rejoin Friends of the Smokies. The trip home included a repast of gyros at Kosta’s, the Greek restaurant in Dillsboro. Yum! And a copy more stops to get materials for projects around Tween Creeks.

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

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!
