newsletter, fall 2004
Dear family and friends,
Hi everyone. We hope that you stayed dry and safe during the time of intense hurricanes. With 17 inches of rain during the last weeks, we had a lot of flooding in Asheville and hundreds of downed trees…
We have finally completed the planning stage of our new house/cooking school and have begun construction. What an endeavor! Though we started on schedule, hurricanes Frances and Ivan really slowed us down. We are thankful that we weren’t in danger or out of power. Our solar panels mounted on top of our RV still meet most of our electric needs. We lost some trees. Nevertheless, we hope to get “closed in” before winter sets in.
Nothing seems like fall as much as crisp, juicy and local apples. Do yourself a favor and find some grown by a farm near you!
Books We Recommend
Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, the story of Meriwether Lewis' life and the Lewis & Clark expedition

Sites We Recommend
We have not been outside of Asheville since we’ve been under construction, but here’s a place that y’all can join us visiting from home. “Put in” at www.hober.com a homey oasis on the information highway. Hober is an internet radio station that specializes in eclectic, international, acoustic music. It is commercial free and plays as great background music on your home or business computer. One listener describes it as “my mountain home in the city.” We hope you enjoy your journey.
Renewable and Loving It!
Just a piece of inspiration to help us all think:
I f
the earth were only a
few feet in diameter, floating a
few feet above a field somewhere,
people would come from everywhere to
marvel at it. People would walk around it
marveling at its big pools of water, its little
pools and the water flowing between the pools.
People would marvel at the bumps on it, and the
holes in it, and they would marvel at the very thin
layer of gas surrounding it and the water suspended in
the gas. The people would marvel at all the creatures
walking around the surface of the ball, and in the water.
The people would declare it precious because it was the
only one and they would protect it so that it would not
be hurt. The ball would be the greatest wonder
known, and people would come to behold it, to be
healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty and
wonder how it could be. People would love it,
and defend it with their lives, because they
would some how know that their lives,
their own roundness, could be nothing
without it. If the earth were
only a few feet in
