It had been 2 years so it was way past time for an update. I didn't include all of the people from before but those are still available via tags *smiles*

My tribe's Solstice celebration was this Saturday (since few could do a weekday) and it was amaaaaazing. Really, the best so far, so cozy and relaxed and lovely.
