Cohousing-L Mailing List: Want to give cohousing a try?

[Patty Hodgins (phodg]

I am planning a 6- to 8-week road trip this April-May. I'm looking  
for someone to stay in my unit *rent free* in exchange for cat and  
plant care. My community, Hearthstone, is in NW Denver, 10 minutes  
from downtown and within walking distance of a supermarket, cool  
restaurants, and shops of all sorts. We are an intergenerational  
group with approx. 50 adults and 25 kids. Get to know community  
members at regular common meals or by just hanging out -- lots of  
people are home during the day.

My unit has one large bedroom + bath upstairs. Ground floor consists  
of TV room, small office, bath, and spacious living/dining/kitchen  
area. Unfinished basement has washer/dryer. Common house includes  
great exercise equipment and large-screen TV.

Quinn, Betsy, and Pierre are my 3 beautiful and charming cats. Quinn  
gets twice-daily insulin injections, which are *really* easy to give.  
(I tend to be squeamish, and I learned the technique in a flash.) I  
confess, I do have lots of plants, too, but they are used to a  
certain amount of neglect.

My travel dates are somewhat negotiable. If this possibility  
intrigues you, please contact me at phodg [at] idcomm.com. I'll send you  
photos of the place and the cats if you like.

Thanks!
