Icy Conditions

Family

True to the weather forecast, it started snowing late this morning. By mid-afternoon it was turning to sleet. Our uphill neighbor stopped by for a visit about that time and reported road conditions still good except for the ice on the little bridge. After leaving our house she got the car only part way home then abandoned it. About an hour later her husband came home in a little two-wheel drive rental car and parked it down on the paved road, about one mile from their house because it was slipping and sliding on the first hill on the gravel road. We saw them both in foul weather gear with hiking sticks headed up the mountain. The big question now is: Will they be able to get out tomorrow for their long awaited trip to warmer climes? And will we be able to get out Friday for our much anticipated trip to Metairie? We aren’t snowed in like Boston right now but we’ve got some winter weather challenges also.

LATEST

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!
