A Wonderful Open House
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 — Filed in: Events
The
Valentine's Open House event was incredibly wonderful
and well attended by cohousing folks, kids and our
community. Music filled the air with Steve playing
guitar and singing with Barbara. They, along with
Paul on hammered dulcimer, were imagining how much
music will be played in the Common House. Donna and
Neill were baking Valentine cookies to keep up with
all the beautiful decorating going on at the crowded
tables, which were covered with an amazing array of
Valentine's card-making supplies for a steady stream
of creative families, kids and adults. Wendy and Tom
set up the display, and Wendy and Hans and many other
cohousing members talked steadily to many interested
guests. Tina Shute, the photographer from the
Republican Journal stayed a long time taking pictures
of cutting and pasting hearts, happy folks singing,
and little kids dancing to the music.
This quote from Mark Twain makes me think of our Common House and about the energy we are already gathering together:
Our house had a heart and a soul and eyes to see us with;
and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies;
it was of us and we were in its confidence,
and lived in its grace and in the peace of its Benediction....
We could not enter it and be unmoved.
