As night was falling over the South Dakota plains we heard a voice call out to us. It was Paul on his bicycle with his trusty canine companion, Marvin. Knowing that Paul had put in a full day of teaching until 9:30PM Sunday and needed to be back in for orientation early Monday morning, we’d promised to not plan on partying late. But we had a delightful evening of conversation swapping family stories and tales of travel. He’s lived and taught many different places around the world and across the country. As we sat in the darkness and talked time slipped away. Finally just before midnight we stepped into the T@B and snapped a selfie to commemorate the moment then hugged one another. With that Paul and Marvin disappeared into the darkness for their short trip home. Hopefully we’ll see them again before too terribly long.
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!
