The Redwoods' Report 3

Friday Free Food

Each Friday morning, volunteers drive over to Whole Foods to pick up 
their donations for The Redwoods. 
Residents line up in order, first come first serve. 
They stand and chat until the carts are rolled  in... then it is like the locusts descending upon the fields. You have to be fast to get what you want. 


Joseph, my downstairs neighbor, is one of the volunteers that fetch the food for us. 
Here he is bringing in a load of Acme and other wonderful breads.


I was able to snag a loaf of Acme Walnut Wheat bread, and an assortment of veggies. 
I feel a soup coming on.... peppers, asparagus and cauliflower.... YUM.

More Tweaks to My Nest


My Greenbrae neighbor, Gregg, came over to help me hang this mirror. 
It really helps my narrow bedroom look more spacious.


He also put together this table that I ordered from Amazon. 
It looks great in space and will do triple duty as a dining table, desk and art center. 
When you live in a small space, 
each piece of furniture needs to be able to do more than one thing, if at all possible.

Sounds like your new home is busy and full of people you'll have fun getting to know. I'd like to live where I can get to know my neighbors.
