Our group celebrated their 3rd annual Winter Solstice party last night in the community room at Jo's new residence. The group was a bit smaller than the last two years, but we enjoyed good food and fellowship all the same. We were especially happy to have Pastor Ruth join us. She is a member who has moved to another location and we were so happy she could join us.
We were treated to a tour of Jo's apartment and then got down to the serious business of eating. Our dinner centered around the huge special sandwich which was purchased at our local bakery. That was augmented by a rice/spinach casserole, a tuna salad, dessert and lots of cookies and candies. None of us left hungry. Here we are busy eating.
After dinner, we had our photo session but without Jodie's professional touch. We will try to post a couple of pictures anyway. Then we had a time of candle lighting, sharing, and singing all very capably directed by Emily.

The second photo of the group shows Joan in place of Emily.
Now we are all eagerly awaiting the lengthening days that we are promised after the Solstice.
