Lovely people:

    You know what?  Having a cohousing community  with people who have some 
similarity  to me is NOT running away from children.  It's running TO having 
more people around who want some of the same things I do.  There will be 
children around!  We'll see them grow and love them as our own just as in any 
other community.

    I've lived in a multi-generational community,  and for some of us,  it 
was our cup of tea.  Now I want to taste another flavor.  We don't all have 
to like the same stuff, do we?  How wonderful it might be for some of us,  as 
we grow older,  to have a community around us, a team of people who want to 
build for ourselves rather than have others  care for us.  You can't imagine 
how many people say they wish their own parents had a place like that to go 
to.  

    I really appreciate your reactions to this talk of Fifty Plus Cohousing.

        Anne Kopp Hyman
