i am having routine days, a good thing, actually, but not much significant to write. i went to jazzercize, then got ready to go to Santa Rosa, to an "Adult" community, to look at short term rentals. O.k, all you dirty minds, what the "adult" means, is 50 or older! this community is in Santa Rosa, named Oakmont, and has tons of activities-golf courses, swimming pools, recreation centers, movies, etc. (i think i want to barf as i describe it)
Anyway, the good thing is, they have a number of short term rentals, so i went to look at quite a few today. well, as Jack Benny says, what can i say. There was one that really was nice, it was on a hill in the hillier part of the development, and there were actually deer sitting on the hillside. It was a really nice house, they had redone it and it was very open. But..........not necessarily available next winter, as they prefer to not have a dog. The other places were more than adequate. i think i am so surprised that Dan would consider a community like this. Clearly, the advantages would be the nearness of so many activities---golf, movies, dinner, potential friends, etc. but geez, it was really ticky tacky. Plus, it's way up in Santa Rosa, and i have experienced road delays and traffic everytime i go to Sonoma county. i really like Novato, and my condo complex, but am not sure we have any opportunities here. We'll see, i think i am processing this as i write and apparently, my feelings are emerging. i must say when i got back, and took a walk around the condo complex, i was stilled by a hummingbird in a nearby tree.
Later, came home and ate and talked to Matt, made plans to come out to Salt Lake City to babysit Isaac! Yeah, and yeah!
so, wishing Dan were with me as i say this---again, i experience this sense of euphoria.
don't know if it's the place, (northern Ca.) or the doing it, but i feel so good.

Pat, Happy Leap Day of your Leap Year. (And I thought this was all intentional about your Leap in Leap year). I'm living your adventure vicariously...LOVE IT. The thing about pushing past any stereotypes (even of "adult communities") is that the reality usually turns out to be way better than one expects. Especially now that the "adults" are our contemporaries.
Do you know any of the women in the film Refusing to be Enemies: The Zeitouna Story? It was filmed in AA with 6 Arab & 6 Jewish women in a dialog group. I hope to see it with the soul sisters on Sunday at Flint Inst of Arts. love and miss you. Ruth
Pat, you would have love the Oscar party at the State Theater in Traverse City. It was wonderful and for some reason very emotional.
Ruth
