This was one of the most organic experiences I had hoped to give me grandkids. Check that one off the bucket list! Make sure your sound is up!

Dear Friends,

Cherapa has been emptied and cleaned. The contract has been signed. All that is left is the closing which is this Friday, June 28.

Just so you know, when we went back to clean the house a few months ago, we looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. We had not realized what a huge burden we had been carrying. With so much to be mowed, weeded, repaired and maintained, we both know that we have made the right decision. Do we miss Cherapa? Absolutely! We miss the frogs, the wide-open spaces and, most of all, our friends.

Now, however, things are much simpler. We practically live on a postage stamp that will soon be totally surrounded by flowers. I can walk to the 7-11 in 15 minutes or drive to the grocery stores in 5. We are near family, and at this stage of our life, and theirs, that is a very good thing. Tsagoi and I are better able to share in the birth of our grandson, as well as several deaths of family and friends. We bought a membership to the Dallas Arboretum, literally blocks from our house. It overlooks White Rock Lake, which I have learned, is a larger park than Central Park in NYC! With that membership comes the privilege of going in 2 hours before the park opens. From 7-9 am any day of the week, we can take our coffee and breakfast to sit, overlooking the lake – or any number of idyllic settings at the Arboretum in near solitude.

As far as the new owner is concerned, I think he is a good fit for Cherapa. He knows his plants, and plans on planting blackberry bushes and improving the Bamboo River Tunnel. I’ve been told he spent a lot of time at Mott’s in Spurger, and that he’s a really great guy. I know he has a married daughter, but not much more. He has put a lot of time and thought into what he wants for Cherapa, and I think he will care for and honor it properly.

This will probably be my final post, and I wanted to leave you with some pictures to browse through. I KNOW I missed some folks, but I culled through more than 1000 pictures and really hadn't realized I'd want everyone's picture until too late. It’ll trigger so many memories. Feel free to add your own!

We've just about come to the close of Cherapa's Second Sunday. This was a wonderful mix of our family in Southeast Texas. The support, love and support we've received from all the folks and the ones no longer with us has been overwhelming. Tsagoi and I stand grateful to all that we have received throughout the years, and have left us spiritually and emotionally fulfilled.

We all agreed to meet next Second Sunday to help pack up and help organize us for our impending move Dec. 12, two days after the last gathering.

Friends, if you aren't receiving our emails, I just realized that you may not know that we are having to sell Cherapa. We can no longer maintain it as we age. Tsagoi has Parkinson's Disease as well and there are resources in Dallas. We also have all our family in the DFW area, so it will also be a sweet homecoming for us. December will be our last Second Sunday. Please visit us in Cherapa before then, and after that, come see us in Dallas. We will be living close to White Rock Lake in a beautiful community in old East Dallas.

Dear Friends,

Hopefully the weather cools down as we begin to enter another delicious autumn! Autumn is when transition often happens and in Cherapa, these are to be our autumn months as well. Tsagoi and I have decided to make a transition, at this point in our lives, to live in Dallas. Our final Second Sunday will be in December. We no longer are able to keep up the maintenance required for this beautiful space. We will put the house on the market to sell beginning on or about January first. HOWEVER- We are convinced that whoever buys our sacred space will be the perfect people to love and care for Cherapa in the good way.
We are looking ahead to the good times of being surrounded by children and grandchildren and loving family, and back at the sacred moments, the spiritual sharing, the real dreams we've created. We plan on compiling a Cherapa scrapbook. If you would like to contribute a special picture about Cherapa, please send it to me!

We hope to see you between now and December Second Sunday! Let us know if you're coming in September!
