August 12 will there be a two dollar charge for each to go?

Bobbie: Yes – my years of outrigger paddling in Hawai’i have given me so many experiences with dolphin and whales – their curiosity about us paddlers – their joy in paddling ahead of us, leading us through the water – the time a mother dolphin let her baby come alongside our canoe swimming on it’s side to look up at us, examining us in the canoe while the mother swam ahead of us waiting for the baby to rejoin her and together they swam onward to where they were going. So humbled, so grateful for the experiences. And when days before I left Hawai’i and the manta ray swam up beside me and along with me as a goodbye, a shared ocean, whatever. Thank you so very much for sharing. Hugs, Phyllis

Thanks for sharing all this, Bob. Next time I see you I’ll try to remember to be aware of your hearing loss. I hope many people read this post so that more of us are cognizant of the need to address these hearing issues here on campus. I also hope that others in your situation will be in touch with you. — Do you still have kitties?

Rita, your garden is beautiful and an inspiration! Thank you for sharing and encouraging others. Juanita

What a charming and nostalgic story of loving family bonding. Beautifully written.

I need this desperately. Is it a free app?

I love our complicated language, especially now my brain ain’t working well. I love the constant iterations, complications, devilish spelling. It all helps, and when I have difficulty, I cherish the root derivations.

Thank you, Eleanor, for another delightful family story. Your parents look happy and sweet. Lynne

Milt, I like your poem. It was so good that I could see it and feel it. It made me think of some of Willa Cather whose stories I love.

Thank you, Joni. I put the youtube on with closed captions and was able to understand what the speaker was saying. I’m a TV idiot so my biggest issue will just be learning how to use the remote and hopefully get what I want to watch. I’m confident that between all the help setting up and the FAQ’s I will master it eventually. Your explanation was very helpful. Cheerie

Thank you, Milt! This article goes straight to the point of poetry. I am unschooled in this art form, generally avoiding it, but your article opened my eyes a bit – well done! Glad you folks moved to the Manor.

How will we connect with certain subscriber channels, such as HBO?

So Miss Joni, I watched the man with terrible diction on the site you’re recommended to learn about DirectTV. I’m more confused now than ever. First, we need a person who speaks clearly. Second, we need that person to explain the vocabulary he is using. Third, we need him to show us dummies just how things work, and he needs to do that slowly. Truly, I am lost. Felicitations, Doyne

Thank you for your sweet story about your dad, you idol.

Thank you, Joni, for all the information. We are looking forward to DIRECTV!

When I moved here 10 yrs ago, there were friends on my 7th floor who would call each other every morning. A phone tree would also work IF all involved would REMEMBER TO CALL the next person. We all need to help one another….

Joni, thank you for finding answers to questions shared by many people living here. I just wonder if what you call “ a phone visit” costs really $11.50. Seems quite expensive for a reminder to take your meds. Just one reminder a day would be $350 per month. If you must take medication several times a day, the price would increase dramatically.
Perhaps another solution, just as a checkup, would be a phone tree among friends or neighbors. Assuming that every one remembers to call!

Thanks, Joni. All the information is helpful and reassuring to know.

I share your wish to break my resolution early. 🤗
Thank you, A. Looney

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!

2 votes for banners down!! It’s like having billboards up.

Banners down! People already know where we are.

You are too late. They reappeared near the entrance at the Quail Point Golf Course.

Thank you for this information! I had no idea that the front desk offered all these services. Very helpful.

I fully agree, should we shoot holes through them?

I had a friend who used to say, “Not too, too bad.”

We can discuss this, if the mood strikes, in the Bistro.

I agree with Jack Rabbit…We don’t need no advertising to mar our unique scenery! What do other readers think?

Nice summary, Bob. Until we have better global leadership, it’s up to us to act locally and think globally. Baby steps.

Thanks for sharing Joni. Lynne got COVID-19 in Carmel on Labor Day, but somehow I avoided it. I am getting shots today at SavOn. Flu shot as well.

What a wonderful collection of images. Thanks to you both!

Another winner, Looney.

Great fun!

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!

Thanks, Bob. Excellent explanation and advice to “do what is advised” in order to be prepared for any disaster.

Eleanor, have you found a close-to-authentic bagel in Medford? I miss them, too.

You’re back, Connie. Yay! And I learned a new word: contronym.
