In the last few years we have had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Steve's second cousins Sue and her brother Dick. We have visited Sue in Toledo a few times and she has visited us in at our mountain house. And we've visited Dick in Metairie on a couple of...
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...
Another cuisine that just can't be found in Jackson County is Vietnamese, so this unseasonably warm evening Mary & Stan ventured with us to Pho-R-Us on Hendersonville Road. We two were hankering for some of that Vietnamese noodle soup and wanted to introduce our...

After nearly a month down south enjoying Florida and Caribbean sunshine we are headed home to the mountains. It has been a great time with friends and family. Besides the cruise, we helped get Karen's parents' house ready for sale, helped Vivian make the move to her...
It's been a lovely cruise! Week One with Savoy at Sea was all about dancing and it was a glorious week. Then Week Two we cruised again, just the two of us together, tables for two, freedom from schedules, foreknowledge of the best places onboard and the delightful...
