Wanda Jackson belts it out: “Let’s Have a Party.” Join Marietta and her hosts Jan and Robin for a wildly interactive book talk, tasty food and drink staples featured in Leaving 1203, and explore the lovely setting. Feel free to invite others. Jan, long a fixture at 1203, displays a few show-and-tell items from this home in Richmond that taught invaluable lessons to the home emptier. How did Marietta empty a haven cherished by four generations? What happened—where is—who has? Why does her gratitude and joy flourish still—and, hey, why will yours?! Listen to music and laugh with the 1203 patio partyers. Gates open at 1, book talk at 2. Up to you: check out this house built in 1804, bring lounge chairs, take a hike, toss balls and throw frisbees, hang around for a mountain sunset. Signed copies of Leaving 1203 will be available for purchase and personalizing.
