About Us

Dec 21, 2011-Aboard Scotch Mist – we blended our families.

The mushy version of “Us” is that we found each other 11+ years ago and married in December, 2011 on Maui.  We had our six kids with us (Ginny – two girls and a boy) (Jim – two boys and girl), now expanded by two wonderful in-laws and known as the “Bunch”.  We married aboard a sailboat – Scotch Mist.  Just as we began our ceremony, a beautiful rainbow appeared behind us.  Somewhere Over The Rainbow, our wedding song (sung on our boat by the cousin of Iz, the Hawaiian singer, for whom we’ve named our motorhome), personified our magical day.

We have lived a full life since then.  We’ve survived cancer, moves, job changes, death and all the usual stressors in our lives.  We’ve also shared in graduations, recovery, healing, moves, weddings, a grandchild, and we are proud to say that we have not only the six best kids (plus those in-laws) but have always had the best cats and dogs on the planet!  We are LUCKY!

As for family and friends, a few words come to mind…special, grateful and thankful!  We’ll be seeing you along the way!

Now, it’s our time to chase life over the rainbow…where dreams really do come true.

Jim: Newly-retired (mostly) lawyer, chronically mediocre golfer, political provocateur and getting more used to wearing cargo shorts every day. jimnoelaticlouddotcom

Ginny:  Still-employed, also mediocre golfer, emotional glue of The Bunch, skilled co-pilot of The Iz and the one who dreamed up whole this adventure! noel.ginnyatgmaildotcom
