October Supermoon

2016 Out West, Illinois, Road Trip

Our home for the evening was on the shore of Lake Carlyle in a Army Corps of Engineers campground with the most unoriginal name of Dam West. It was a pleasant place to pause for the night or to linger for several days. And it was a beautiful place from which to view the October Full Moon reflecting off the surface of the lake while enjoying perfect weather and gentle breezes.

Since we haven’t shopped for groceries recently we popped into the local McDonalds where we received some most extraordinary service. We wanted to post a rave review on Yelp! but couldn’t find a listing for the specific location.

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!

Savoy at Sea 2025

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.
