Places part l. more later if the tinfoil holds

DSCN6320f

where i am this morning

 

DSCN6321f

Jenny sent this pic this morning.  It's campsite B.  Where i will be,  in one form or another,  in 7, 8, maybe 9 days from now.  It may look exactly like this when i arrive.  OR  the footings might be in.  OR there might be my new Box home.  OR part of it.

I can't believe that she made me a circle.    a circle.  I have a circle.

When i talk about snail mail,  postcards,  this is what i intend.  Even if there's no Box home,  there will be the travel trailer in her Campsite C.  It has a generator.  And even if there's no Internet for a while,  I still can take pics off my camera and load them on Picasa and then print them,  send as stationery.  PC and printer are independent.

i have a lot of addresses and if you think i might not have yours,  and if you want to,  you can still email me.  The tinfoil is working wonders and nothing is amiss as yet this morning.  But you never know.  

MORE LATER today,  again,  if the tinfoil holds.  Tinfoil.  imagine that.

    Briefly up from my current plague (the illness playing out in my body since the 14th)–visiting your circular place while potatoes boil and chicken bakes in Ghee for supper much later tonight. Love the looking. You have my various contacts I think but I will send a separate email just in case and look forward to to continued contact in the future.

    Oh Grace! The Going! When I saw that I had to go back and read the news, the last or the packing. It has all happened at the right time and I am so happy for you . . . some things just have to take their own time, it its own time.

    A circle!!! Your daughter knows you well. Made with love.
    I will be here and will continue to look for you. It would be good if we had an address for you (snail mail) so we could send you cards.

    Yes, to tinfoil. The Comcast guy said it increases the amount of signal available to your router.
    All those folks wearing tinfoil hats thinking it protected them–when it was just increasing the waves.
    I am LOVING the circle.

    I’m zooming in on what looks like a eucalyptus tree on the right in the foreground. My first impression of the shrubby tree in the center of the circle is cedar. Oh the fragrances!

    isn’t it Something????? She does not consciously know these things, but DOES know them.
    As soon as there IS a snail mail there, i will send. Hopefully,
    before the computer goes off. Requires Alyssia setting up
    a post office box for the two of us….if they allow that.

    but they DO notice fragrance and tell me

    Close. we are Close to eeeeeee. Still ify, the actual day of
    setting out, which WILL be a total
    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Us: daughter, granddaughter, me, we are diverse. Have our
    own particular ways, but the thing that glues us is an Interest
    in How Things Can Go. an interest in What It Takes to create
    community and make it Work, while retaining our own Selves.
    just talked long with daughter about how all the people are there….where she shops…goes to Home Depot, the Corner store, how people are, that must live somewhere around but she doesn’t know, but drive by slowly looking at them as they are laying the water line
    of note is that it is a mixed family…daughter, like me, blondeish and White, blue eyed, a black man, a young woman brown with brown children…
    their community is taking note of the NEW PEOPLE. And they, as the new people are taking note of their community
    I am so so looking forward to all this and so in this moment CAN give an eeeeee…but the Big EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee is still to come

    Usually, one person is the “responsible” person for the post office box – rent and such – and that individual then adds all of the other names that are to be accepted at that post office box. I think there are 5 last names on my list at the p.o.
    Love the order of things to go in the corner, and that circle…I love that beyond measure!

    Hi Grace, I have been following you for a few years now; can’t recall how I came upon your blogspot, but I will miss you as I check with you and your doings every day. I’m not sure if I am eligible to be on your mailing list, but it would be such an honor when you are offline.
    I’m in Rochester, MI.
    Your musings, doings, cloth making, etc. move my soul. A very big heart filled with gratitude for your imprint on my life. Safe travels to CA.

    I was born in Detroit, grew up in Farmington, my young adult and early adult years in Ann Arbor….
    so this will be like the thread that spun out and now gets to
    circle back….Rochester….how Great!
    I am excited this morning about thinking of the ways we CAN
    connect to the Imprint of others…like a heat sensor of the
    HeartMinds….
    Imprint…a beautiful word….
    THANK YOU for Your imprint this morning,
    Love and please email the snail address!!!!!!!

    Such a big adventure Grace. It makes me so happy to think of you and the Goats going – and coming to your family and the Circle and the Community. The story of the tin foil and how it has allowed this communication is wonderful.

    so soon!!!
    and a circle to land in,
    cottonwood/poplar burns hard and fast
    good to start a fire and get the chill off
    then I’d add the oak to make it burn longer
    half old half seasoned.
    hugss and safe journey!

    o! Hey You, Faun!…Thank you, safe journey, and
    there is plenty of wood to burn. I want to make a
    smallish stone fire pit.
