Summer 2022

In North Carolina

The end of May has arrived and we are headed back to North Carolina to see our granddaughter  who Dee has not seen since Christmas.  She has changed so much and it was so much fun to watch Lilia and Capi get reacquainted again.  We are back before Memorial Day Weekend to see our nephew graduate from high school.  He has endured Covid through his high school years and that makes me sad, but he is so ready for his next chapter…..  Dee and I were so glad to be here today and that Hannah was able to join the family with Lilia.  My mom and dad watched their last grandchild graduate from High School.  And the proud momma watching her baby graduate.  Now we will return to more Lilia time.  Dee and I cherish these weeks that we got to spend with her and watching her smile, learn and grow.  She is such a happy baby.  Sadly this time came to an end quickly as mid June arrives and Hannah and Aldo plan their move to the Chicago area for the next 4 months.

Now we can get back to focussing things here in NC like visiting local Yadkin Valley Wineries, seeing Fury and getting Messin Around ready to go on the lake for a few weeks.  She gave us a little trouble with the battery but finally we were on the water.  Loving our Friday night sunsets again on the water with friends.  We loved having a visit from Jesse and getting her on the water.  It was great to catch up and have Harley around even on the Messin Around.  Maybe it is because we are cruisers now, but watching people on Lake Norman especially trying to anchor on a windy day is now one of our favorite thing to do when we are home in the summer.  Enjoy our clips of boaters trying to figure it all out. We remember those days.

At the end of June we enjoyed dressing up and taking friends to the Evening with Dove House, a charity near and dear to our hearts.  This event is a big fundraiser and we were glad to be here to support this event.  Next, July 4th arrives and we enjoy a great day on the lake and fabulous local fireworks.


Now it is time to head back to Journey in Mexico.   Luis picks us up at the airport and transfers us safely back to Journey.  We are glad back in Mexico aboard Journey!
