Solstice Celebration Update: Today (Saturday) 4:30 to 7:30 

Looking forward to having our neighbors and friends join us in celebrating the season and the longer days ahead! 

Since it will be colder than other years, Kort will be playing in the store, not on our terrace as before.  He will need the warmth for his fingers and instruments. We are planning to bring his music outside, however!

For those of you who might be interested: We gather there is expected to be an appearance of Santa at the store in the late afternoon. Bring your youngest family members and continue on to the back store patio and our place to find s’mores and solstice spirit out in back.  

We’ll have hot mulled wine, soup, hot cider (with or without rum) and anything you wish to contribute in the area of our garage where you will also have fires to keep you warm. We’ve also provided the store with a large batch of sausages that they will grill up and offer at a cost that covers the fixings and their labor. The store will also have a veggie option and you can order pizza (not slices, however) or other things from the store’s usual menu.  Several people have asked if they can bring anything, so we’ll have a table and would enjoy it if you want to bring something to share – but in no way feel obligated! 

Please note: we have an intractable bit of ice in our driveway.  As a result, the main focus of activity will be at the street level between our garage area and the store patio.    We’ll have a good array of heaters and stoves for warmth and for toasting those marshmallows.

If you want to escape the fray, watch the stars and listen to the music, we’ll have a fire pit on the terrace of our house.  Feel free to come up but please use the stairs rather than the driveway in order to avoid the ice. 

Bring some form of light and a stick of wood if you can.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Marcus and Elisabeth with many thanks to Kort and the Gold Hill Store
