On Friday December 22, 1995 Steve hung up his hard hat and became a Stay at Home Dad while Karen pursued a full time career in pharmacy. Many folks had a problem with our gender bender approach but it worked well for us and we believe our kids have fond memories of those years. Aunt Nancy supported Steve’s position with humor when she gifted him with a cookbook specifically for his situation!Â
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!
Nice memory. Merry Chrustmas and blessings in the New Year!
