Stop number one on our Summer Ramble is lunch with Sharon & Paul at Fat Buddies in Waynesville NC. We four became friends in the early 1980’s and our older children were playmates. In the early 1990’s we were neighbors and our younger children were best buddies. As our lives got busier and distances greater we saw less of each other but the friendships endure. Now they have a summer home not far from Tween Creeks. The irony is that our schedules are opposite so we have to treasure the few opportunities we have to visit. Inspired by our T@B-CS, they recently have been looking at the nüCamp line of teardrop trailers and after lunch toured our new 400. With the tow vehicle they recently purchased and the kinds of travel they are considering, a T@G might be their ticket to adventure!
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.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
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!
