What a delightful surprise! A second visit with our niece Emily in less than a week! She’s interning in the Porthouse Theater costume shop this summer which gives her opportunity to visit with her Cousin Dave and his daughters on occasion. These two are the oldest and the youngest of the grandchildren of Karen’s parents. They grew up in the same neighborhood but by the time Emily was old enough to be aware, Dave was already living in Ohio. It’s a great side benefit of this summer job that she is able to spend time with some of her far flung family!
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!
