Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Apartment for rent at Alchemy Farm

[Diane Margolis (diane]

Hi Karen,
I want to thank you for setting up the visit for Rowena and me.  Seeing
Alchemy Farm was very interesting and we want to thank all those who took
the time to show us around and explain how Alchemy Farm worked.  As you may
have guessed from our long silence (over-long. I'm sorry) after thinking
about it for a long while and working out the figures, we decided it just
wouldn't work for us.
    We wish you and Alchemy Farm the best of luck.  When in Cambridge,
please come visit us.
    All best,
Diane Margolis
