Hey Heartwoodies, nice blog! What a beautiful community you have built and how nice it is to touch in and see how it's grown. Hopefully Eli and I will drop in this year and see ya'all.
Love and Peace,
Julia (Hesse)
Congratulations! That's quite an honor. Will anyone from your community be at the National Cohousing Conference, www.cohousing.org/2009/overview, here in Seattle this June? If so give a jingle and I'll show you around.
In Community,
Morgan
