Joan Using a mediator, perhaps we can dazzling smile . . . Eleanor and Ann and Wilma and Sally offer food and hearth and friendship . . . Cris brings permaculture info and Maria sunflower seeds . . . Bill andEdand Samandlim and Bruce and Niles show Randy the ropes . . . Don takes time after a long meeting to talk to us about water studies . . .
