A New Year Begins

Family

If the whole year goes the way it has begun, we may well be spending the coming year seeking out small adventures. Rather than sit at home quietly welcoming waiting for midnight and the new year, we decided to head out for a New Years street party in Franklin, North Carolina. We checked into the Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast yesterday then headed out to Ruby Cinema for a viewing of Mary Poppins Returns before heading downtown where we had reservations at The Root and Barrel where we had a delicious repast amid a crowd of revelers. The town of Franklin hosted a Ruby Drop at midnight and we’d planned to be there but instead opted for our cozy room instead of hanging out in the cold rain. This morning fellow guests reported the rain had stopped by midnight and that the Ruby Drop was successful but we have to admit to having enjoyed being warm and cozy and asleep by midnight. Today we’ll head home on the lookout for adventures along the way and looking forward to a fabulous 2019.

    Hello and Happy 2019 wishes in April! Your post made it to my inbox just yesterday! Ha – gotta love technology!
    Rich and I so enjoy your newsy accounts of adventures from place to place! We too are gearing up for T@B travels later this spring and a trip to two National Parks – Mammoth Caves and Acadia. With a few weekend hops if we can.
    Also hoping to catch up with you and our “T@B family” in June at ÜCamp “Rolling Home.” Here’s wishing you Peace, Love and safe tr@vels!

      Happy 2019! Don’t blame technology, blame the bloggers. We’ve been so wrapped up with a project at home this winter that we’ve neglected our blog followers, but we’re getting up to speed now. You should be seeing more updates in the days to come. Like you we’re really looking forward to üCamp19. We love both Mammoth Cave and Acadia. Be sure to get Tea and Popovers on the lawn at Jordan Pond when you are in Acadia. Happy Trails!

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!

Savoy at Sea 2025

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.
