Just north of the Quad Cities, we scored a site in the Fisherman’s Corner COE campground with a view of the the mighty Mississippi. As night falls we can watch the red and green lights of the barges move along this great waterway. We’re reflecting on the fact that Karen’s GG-Grandfather lived on the Illinois bank of the Mississippi at the same time that Samuel Clemens was growing up on the Missouri bank. One of the significant features of this summertime experience is the incredible hot and muggy weather we’re having right now!
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!
