Please do not bring a birthday gift. Bob is spoiled enough as it is!

Our home is available to you for restroom use and shelter in case of bad weather. We cannot guarantee that all of our other guests have been following the pandemic safety recommendations, so please be mindful and gather responsibly.
We hope you can join us! Thank you!
