Where have we been?

It's been about 3 weeks since the last posting. I've been occupied helping an elderly family member who has been in and out of the hospital and rehabilitation centers for the last 10 weeks or so. Except for the permaculture class week, it's been nearly an every-day visit to one facility or another.

Things have settled down and steady improvement is evidenced so we feel we can "safely" follow through with a long-planned, three-week trip to Europe that begins next week - on Wednesday the 7th. I hope to visit co-housing sites and see and learn about sustainable energy generation in Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden. If possible I'll post some entries showing what I've seen.

Until then I encourage you to visit the Rosneath Farm web site. Rosneath Farm is located in Australia, south of Perth, but their web site has much information that applies to any co-housing location.

They have obviously put lots of work into their effort. If you read something that you want to discuss with the Raccoon Creek Community, post a message to the RaccoonCreekForum. An easy fill-in for joining the Forum is located in the column on the left side of this page.
