A Bit of Gunpowder

Family

Gunpowder for St Paddy’s Day? Maybe not so inappropriate as it might sound. Karen discovered Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford back in August. Our friends Stan & Mary invited us to their house for a delicious Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner to celebrate the feast of Ireland’s patron saint. We brought the bottle of gin, named for the Gunpowder Green Tea that is one of the predominant botanicals in this craft gin created at The Shed Distillery in the heart of Ireland. We broke the seal, poured a bit on the rocks, and each person took a sip before mixing it. Every one of us opted to enjoy on the rocks. Our next challenge will be to find a source on this side of the Atlantic!

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

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.

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!
