Today started out as a quiet day in the campground with Amanda in the campsite next door. We shared a breakfast of Eggs and Low-Carb Corned Beef Hash prepared in our Hot Logic Mini Oven and Crispy Pork Belly fried up on her Dash Express Griddle before busying ourselves getting our trailers organized for the upcoming summer travel season. Suddenly the focus of the day was shifted when she asked where we’d gotten our GO Berkey Water Filter. Within minutes we three had piled into her truck and headed off to Lehman’s Flagship Store in nearby Kidron, Ohio. With a history that traces back to 1955, Lehman’s is dedicated to serving the community with often difficult to find items useful for off-grid living. Often when we are in the area we browse this store in search of items that work well in our tiny trailer. Today we found a delightful little battery operated LED lantern that will up our glamping ambience a notch and Amanda learned that they have the GO Berkey filter on order and she’ll be able to bag one in June when she’s here for üCamp21.
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!
What a pleasant day that was!!
We so enjoyed catching up with you guys the other night. Amanda: sending you hugs!
