Two days ago neither one of us had a burning desire to throw a pair of old shoes into a tree in the middle of the woods in Milltown IN, but after doing so today, it feels like we have accomplished a bucket list item. As we were leaving Bloomington yesterday we checked our Roadside America app. The Legendary Shoe Tree in Crawford County appealed to us since we were traveling with a pair of shoes that Steve had just replaced. So today as we left our campsite at Buffalo Trace we set our GPS for the shoe tree coordinates. Half an hour later we were slinging a pair of well worn Merrells onto a limb and logging our find in the nearby geocache. By our rules we are now qualified to place an Indiana sticker on the new map we plan to get and put on the side of our new camper. The adventure has commenced!
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!
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.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
