C’mon and toast October beauty with Marietta and hosts Jan and Robin at their 1804 home. Marietta looks forward to seeing friends old and new and you’re welcome to invite others to join our party – tote along lawn chairs if easy. Gates open at 1 and the jolly, interactive book talk starts at 2—rain or shine, warm or cool. Laze around, explore, dip and sip for the afternoon. Feast on delish 1203 food and drink staples that readers taste in Leaving 1203. This short book (with photographs and a celebrity dog) offers a look back at forever lessons the author relearned while emptying her beloved-by-four-generations childhood home. Marietta delights in sharing 1203’s clear reminders of what really matters, a simple blueprint for a better future that can’t be beat. Relationship, gratitude, humor, humility, sacrifice, generosity, simple pleasures—how about that?! You’re most welcome, indeed encouraged, to bring food or drinks, a favorite savored by those close to your hearts, and settle in for some storytelling. RSVP to Jan with your number of partiers and any questions: jkilfeathermackey@gmail.com. Long a fixture at 1203, she currently has signed copies of Leaving 1203 available and plenty more will be on hand for purchase (credit card, cash, or check) and personalizing at the hootenanny.
