It was cold and drizzling on Christmas Day 2005 when I saw the 9 Mile Schoolhouse for the first time in seven years.  It sat there in front of me, huddled against the rain. Beneath dreary skies and peeling paint, I felt its magic, still present after all these years.

I was a child again, shopping at the Christmas Market; wood chips crunching underfoot as I examined every detail of the painted ornament in my hand.  Choosing one and then another, checking my pockets to see if I had enough money to buy both.  Cold fingertips warmed by the wood stove ; the scent of freshly cut pine and cedar mingling with woodsmoke. 

The 9 Mile Schoolhouse was a magical part of my childhood.  We’d like recapture that magic for you and your children.
