Phoebus came together and had a Holiday Illumination that Hampton Assembly went to and helped serve hot chocolate and hot apple cider. Up and down the streets, buildings were lit up and The Pointe restaurant even had fake snow, the Sarah’s Pub had Irish dancers, and at 8:30, everyone stood around the Christmas tree to watch the lighting of it. It was the first annual Phoebus Illumination and I can’t wait to go again next year for even more lights and fun.

 
On November 16, we went to Panera and all ordered the same thing. We used our bread loaves and literally broke it as we celebrated the Grand Cross. We didn’t talk about Rainbow very much. We talked about school, color guard, band, instruments…basically everything outside of our Rainbow lives.

We had fun! It was cold outside. We had plans to go to the mall afterwards, but got lost and separated from each other. 🙁  We’ll have to do that another time.

We had a good time reconnecting, just the four of us! And we’d love to do it again sometime…hopefully before the next Grand Cross Observance!
