It’s Spring Cleaning Time! Our current emphasis is on dejunking closets. We’re bent on getting rid of superfluous stuff. One thing we are discarding is the packaging for all our CD’s and DVD’s. We’re keeping the original discs although we’ve ripped the music and movies to our computer but the discs we are storing in paper sleeves in a couple of boxes designed for that purpose. The space savings is amazing. We’re also sorting through boxes and boxes of paper memorabilia and using Scan Genius on the iPhone to convert lots of stuff to scanned images then recycling the paper. We’ve gone through several cupboards and drawers and discarded useless stuff and donated good reusable stuff. And we’ve only begun.
Oh! It’s so good to begin finding space in closets and drawers. We’ve lost count of the trips to Friends of the Library, Goodwill, and the dump but there have been many. And there’s still so much yet to sort through!
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!
Don’t you feel a great sense of accomplishment?!
