     WHERE I LIVED.
POSTED Feb 28, 2000

This is what I wrote back in Oct. 1988 about this question.

I had brought a small tent with us and this was our first residence. We pitched it on the hill above the stream where we would get our water. Later we moved up to the waterfall, where the stream was diverted to the claim. These were beautiful spots but we were not rally part of the group. Next we lived in the "end room" where I remember hanging a little contraption from the ceiling so that Jamal, on a few months old, could get the feel of walking. I also remember while living here how one day, after a long period of nothing to eat but rice and salad, we were planning a spaghetti dinner. Unfortunately we sacrificed coffee to finance this and as the long-awaited meal approached I felt a 'coffee Headache' begin and wax to the point where I not only couldn't eat dinner but felt like dying. Next we moved to the "Sauna", then a clothes closet, and then our living quarters. We made good use of the space and eventually built onto this a loft and then broke down a wall between it and the "middle room". The biggest event at Sunnyridge as far as a living area goes was the Lodge. We lived near the front door. We may have moved back to the sauna and expanded it after living in the lodge, I can't remember. Anyway, the Lodge was a great experience in shared concerns, fun, and work. Later the Lodge became the new Kitchen. I can recall some of these memories: Working on the grease trap from the sink, Building a flywheel onto the hand grinder to wheat, most of us had mobiles hanging around our beds, diaper pails, dish washing procedures that seemed to actually work, a Christmas tree, loading the furnace from under the lodge in the winter, eating chutney, canned peaches (home canned) and Mr. Ed's milk, lots of music, brushing each other's hair, messages.
