Deck Day 29

Family

Hooray! We were able to resume our treasured tradition of hosting Deck Day every Memorial Day. Good citizenship and public health concerns caused us to cancel in 2020 and 2021, but now we’re back on track for the twenty-ninth version of this gathering of friends and family both local and from across the country. The main event is the Monday afternoon/evening cookout but the first guests arrived on Thursday and helped us with preparations interspersed with lots of fun activities as well as good food and drink and some lingered until today as the clean up partying progressed. These last six days have been so much fun with our guests pitching in to help with all the cooking, cleaning, puzzle assembling, music making, libation mixing, dancing, organizing, game playing, eating, drinking, and conversing. As we turn the page and move on to our summer travels, we’re savoring the memories made during this, our second last Deck Day. Thanks to all of you who participate and enrich our lives so thoroughly.

The first, but not last, completed puzzle of the week.

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.
