One of the delights of the teardrop rally in Ohio each summer is putting names and faces together. We’re nearly all members of an online forum designed to share T@B information and enthusiasm. As we meet people here we introduce ourselves not only by name but by handle. It was an exciting moment when jkjenn and Rocky arrived and met cyclonic, restless native, and skwhee. Unfortunately jkjenn was able to come by only for a visit but maybe a longer encounter is in our future.
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!
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.
Karen and Steve,
It was such a pleasure meeting you both. Thank you so much for showing Glenn, Kaitlynn and I your T@B 400. Thank you for all the great information, suggestions and fantastic stories.
Lisa & Glenn
