Common Meal and Visitors

We had our usual Wednesday common meal tonight. Yum....Fajitas



Visitors included Raines from www.CohousingCoach.com and the Lippers (Who also helped cook).. Way to go.



Following the meal the kids played a game in the main room.



And we don't want to leave out Jeff, and remember that there is "some" work to be done. He did a bunch of the cleaning. Thanks Jeff...

Thanks, Dave. A great meal, wonderful common house (feels like a ski lodge, a lot bigger than ours at Berkeley Cohousing), a fun chance to introduce our birthday song, and share your traditions. Worth the long drive over Wolf Creek Pass, 3 hours of driving on ice and snow (7 hours total) to make it here from Casa Verde Commons in Colorado Springs, where I gave them some marketing help last night.

Rather than link to our site, it might be more worth mentioning that I'm former Coho/US board member and current FIC boardmember, specializing in "aging in community" and helping communities connect, within themselves, with other communities, and their neighbors; I'm a Northern California Cohousing regional organizer. I've been to nearly all the built U.S. cohousing communities, and had a great dinner-table conversation at your common meal about the link betwen sustainability and community. I'm looking forward to coming back for a longer visit when things are green, perhaps in late May on my way to FIC's "Art of Community" conference in Albuquerque.
