Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Finding groups / Re: Cohousing in Tallahassee

[ann zabaldo (annz]

Well I'm glad to know I'm not totally losing my mind as I inexorably continue
to age.  And rats!  I didn't check my email b/4 I left on Thursday so I didn't
get this message.  I would have loved to talk w/ these folks, if I could find
them.  Guess I'll have to go back!

Thanks Fred for this research.  I'm keeping your research reference sites.
