Ray headed out early to meet my Dad at a house near him where there was some firewood that looked available. They loaded it in the truck and then Captain dropped Ray at work and drove here. We unloaded it and he gardened. I talked to him a lot and made bread and couscous salad. He worked a long time, but eventually came in and ate some lunch.
After he left, I did some minor computer work, entering some recipes on sparkpeople.com and gathering information for the Green Sanctuary program and the meeting Monday about the death prep workshop, while chatting with Molli on Skype.
At 6:30, I headed over to the community center and had supper with several of my neighbors. Some new people, Armando and Kathy, are thinking of buying into the community and building a house. I know them slightly from years ago, when I was Director of IHN. They were involved at the Catholic Center and are peace and justice advocates that Ray MacNair steered here. I invited them back to see our house. I wish I could help design theirs! They have two teenage boys. He is from Argentina (?) and they met in Mexico and lived there, about an hour from Mexico City. They spoke fondly of Xalapa and what a beautiful place it was, mentioning a specific coffee shop. I really enjoyed their company.
Then I watched TV for a while until Ray came home, bringing me a piece of cake from Last Resort.
