Retirement Day finally arrived. All Children’s threw a big party on the rooftop of the new parking garage! Well, actually it was to celebrate the placement of the last beam on the new hospital but it was on my retirement day! Just before six Steve and CJ showed up at the satellite door with fourteen pink roses and chocolates. I said my final goodbyes, looked around at the place where I had spent so many hours in the last fourteen years and headed out to celebrate with a wonderful dinner at Cafe Alma!
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!
