Greetings!  

Winter has blessed us with much snow this year.  We are enjoying sledding, skiing, snowshoeing, and cozy evenings by the fire.

Piles of snow are kid magnets!

The Common House is a great gathering place to play games, bake, share hot chocolate with your friends on snow days and watch movies (last month's:"Finding Neverland").  Come join us for one of our upcoming special events to discover our unique community.  Read below for details on a canning workshop, craft demonstration day, snowshoe hike and maple syruping.

They live full time in southern CA where Bonnie's job is but were inspired to plan ahead for life when Molly goes to college.
