What a lovely story- so glad you have found RVM to be the right place. (My husband Wayne broke his femur on the ice in Dec. of 2022 and experienced a long recovery, so we know first hand how difficukt coordinationg the recovery process can be . Happy New Year!
I was so surprised when I read the first article. I agreed with it. I enjoy hearing what others say about something especially if they hit on something I agree with. And now the answer to why the banners are gone. Thank you so much for the rabbits. I have wondered about the Quail being our logo since the shrubs under which they had nests were removed and I never see a Quail.
It is great to read the whole story of your entry into RVM. We are happy that you are here, and look forward to getting to know you better. Happy 2025!

Well said, Bob. This is the sort of pep talk and warning that everybody needs to read from time to time, even if we’ve heard it before. PS- This is the time to put some warm clothes in your To Go bag!
My area is very different. Malama Way has 4 cottages,three solo women,one couple (no contact 10 years) 1501-4; below them1505-1510 Village Center Drive has three elderly widows,one couple (he’s the champion golfer). Two of our husbands were the coordinators when able, both died in 2023 at 93, Damon Simpson & Jim Stocker. We’ve had not contact fro, anybody. I figure we’ll roll down thehill into theMemory Care Center!!
What a delightful story, Eleanor. It reminded me of the hot summer days in So. California when my sister and I ran bare footed through our neighborhood, then home for a lunch my grandmother prepared – French toast with melted butter and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
I took Chem 2 with Mrs. Patterson at La Canada High in the mid 70’s. She was unflappable and a good teacher. I was challenged. I remember her fondly telling
Well I hope the Complement group can hang in there. You all have done a great job with your publication. You provide interesting, funny, and important information for our community.
I was very pleased that 1) you decided to do an article on the wildfire improvements and 2) you did a great job showing us the sprinkler system around the buildings and wild areas. It has been a worry since the Almeda fire, and knowing all the work that has been done to protect the RVM property eases my mind.
I am still very concerned about fire hazards such as overgrown trees or shrubery too close to the cottages which could catch an ember and start a fire within the cottage areas. I have three pine trees outside my windows which are definitely too close to the cottage, but I have been told they won’t take them down. They have pruned the upper branches to give us a little view, but the overhanging branches that cover the walkway are still too close. It might be a good idea to have the Manor administrators and the landscaping people learn about “defensible space” and the need for cleared area around buildings! Even the fire department said having the trees so close was not a problem. My husband and I worked with the Stanislaus Natl. Forest with the Firesafe program and have been fully aware of the need for defensible space, not only in the forest but in the cities as well. I’m not a fan of “It won’t happen to me!”
Just to clarify the Residents Council “budget constraint” referenced. The Entertainment budget is the single largest Residents Council expenditure – approximately 20% of the entire budget.
Malo e lelei, Creed. My cousin Lise is married to a Tongan, Rodney Sekona. His family owns a construction company based in Salt Lake City. You probably can guess what the focus of their business is – building coral block walls. Lise’s speciality is producing lots of grandchildren, five at last count. Faasamoa.
