No Panic

OK, we are not in a state of panic, not even an understated state.  On the 11th we will have a pre-solstice-warm-up party for whoever shows up and we will serve ham and bean soup, pound cake, cheese & crackers plus beer, wine, soda, coffee to whoever shows up.  I'm making bean soup tomorrow and pound cake on Saturday.  The parts of the house that are now clean are simply going to stay that way, or else.  Then we clean up and do the Library Party on the 12th (just have bring pound cake), the Town party on the 15th (bring fingerfood) and then our big party on the 18th.
