HOW – A Sequel

Posted on November 4, 2021 by webadmin

by Ruby Bonham

After exploring the Whys, I got to thinking about Fred’s Why Nots. Which brought me to HOW. How do we cope with all the Whys.

Each of the whys is an event in our lives that has already happened and cannot be changed. We have no control over the past but we do have control over how we react to it. People react in different ways: anger, revenge, shock, and destructive behavior are just a few. We do not seem to cope very well when our lives and the lives of our loved ones spin out of our control. Continue reading →

Gunnar the Pupper
by Fred Prout

For some of you, this may be another in a long line of dog/ cat/ bunny/ parakeet etc. stories. For many of you, it may be an allegory. Please let me know if it works.

For those of you who never met Gunnar, he was an eighty pound rescue dog of Collie/ Golden Retriever parentage. Although he loved us both, it was obvious he was Rita’s dog. He seemed to sense that he could help her. And help he did. Continue reading →

WHY

Posted on October 23, 2021 by webadmin

by Ruby Bonham

Sometimes I feel like a four-year-old again with my endless “whys”. Most of them are unanswered but I hold out hope that one day I will understand. As a young girl, I didn’t pray for things, instead, I asked for wisdom. I wanted to grow up to be a philosopher. I was fascinated by Diogenes who searched with a lantern looking for an honest man.

Open Board Meeting “Streaming” Test

Posted on October 21, 2021 by Thom Hoch

The communications committee has been experimenting with “streaming” our Open Board Meetings.  This means, if you have the link, you can watch the meeting in near real-time on your computer or smartphone.  In addition, the video is also available for replay later.

If you’d like to view today’s board meeting, go to the Member’s Only Page and look for the link to the meeting.  It’s near the top.  We apologize for the audio portion of the recording, which is NOT great.  You’ll have to turn up the volume to hear it properly. This project is still a work in process and we’re working to improve.

However, we’d like to hear from you.  What do you think about this?  Will you use it? How was the quality?  This particular video is about 1.5 hours — so grab some popcorn and enjoy.

As we approach the (much needed) rainy season, please check the ditches in front of your lot and make sure excessive gravel and leaves are removed, and not blocking water from freely flowing.

Thank You.
