Actually it’s a really rainy day outdoors, perfect for hanging out with all the lights on and jazz streaming from our iTunes account while we work on the Things to Do list. Suddenly it was a Sunny Day indoors when we realized we were listening to the Oscar Peterson Trio performance of the Sesame Street theme and started dancing in the living room. It triggered a memory from September 1970 of hearing the song Rubber Duckie playing on WGGG Radio in Gainesville just as the two of us were beginning our professional studies at UF and at USF. We treasure those little memories that come from a long shared history!
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!
