The Grove

I'm back! It has been forever since I have been around and actually done some work regarding The Grove and I wanted to start by giving you guys a bit of an explanation.

The last few months have been (as many of you know) beyond busy for me. I found a house, bought it, have spent numerous days paint, packed, and done a little bit of moving. I am now just about moved out of the house I was brought home from the hospital to, which is very strange. Before that was term papers and final exams. Brittany left this morning to spend two months interning in Washington DC because her mom was offered a temporary position there. And that is not to mention work and family obligations and going on vacation and finding roommates.

Essentially, I have been completely self involved and this may be the one time I don't feel bad using that as an excuse to be MIA and I hope you guys can understand as well.

Normally, with the way that the days fell, we would have had a Meet and Eat between Beltane and Summer Solstice, but it just wasn't a good time. That doesn't mean we aren't going to be hosting activities in the future, I promise. I hope to be back on the wagon soon.

I promise to deliver a good ritual for Summer Solstice to make it up to you guys. I can't give you the details of exactly what we will be doing right now (because I haven't made up my mind) but it won't be anything outrageous. We will be doing our normal ritual and potluck routine only it will be at my new house! This will also mark one year since our first group ritual so I hope to honor that some how.

Don't forget to RVSP by replying to this email, using the Yahoo group, or the page on our site. The ritual will be on Saturday the 20th. Gathering at 7, ritual at 8. Doors will be shut at 8 to any late comers.

Sometime in July I will be having a house warming party and I would like to see you guys there. I will let you know when because the 4th and my nephews birthday party will be around there as well.

In late July or early August I would love it if we could set up our trip to the casino that we have been discussing.

The next official Meet and Eat will probably be a movie night. I say we meet at my house, eat pizza or something, and watch something witchy like Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, Witches of Eastwick, Wicker Man, etc.

That's quite enough from me. See you soon and I hope you will join the yahoo group if you haven't already.

Blessed Be,

Haley K.
