Smoke in the Mountains

Family

Even while we were in Ohio a couple of weeks ago, when we checked the weather in at home  we learned that there was an air quality warning. When we arrived at Tween Creeks we began learning that there had been an wildfire raging in the Dick’s Creek area near Whittier here in our county. Firefighters had it contained and we were enjoying clear mountain air until Saturday when the fire jumped containment lines. Now periodically the winds bring the smoke into the cove. We pray that rains will come and that the brave firefighters can extinguish this blaze soon so that the cause of the smokiness in these mountains can once again be only the terpenes that are emitted by the conifers that blanket the mountainsides.

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!
