Tonight we’re Harvest Host guests at Hartland Winery in Ashley, Indiana. When we arrived just before five this Saturday evening, the place was already hopping even before Autumn Grey took the stage. We got some Peach Wine Slushies and proceeded to set our T@B in place for a gorgeous sunset view of the vineyard. Our Travels with Delaney friends Patrick and Patty live in nearby Angola and agreed to join us for an evening of wine and conversation. Our hosts Alan & Brenda Lockhart were delightful. Brenda set us up with some Edelweiss & Montage wines and glasses and we sat outside the trailer enjoying perfect weather and the sounds of a party in the distance. Alan came by to hobnob a bit as the sun was setting and regaled us with tales of an awesome cross country trip the two of them took once upon a time, whetting our appetites to see places we’ve not yet visited. Thank you Hartland Winery and Harvest Hosts for making this experience possible!
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!
