I am finally settled in and having a wonderful time in my new home. Thank you - thank you for the
beautiful bird bath and AAUW stone. They are in my back yard. See pictures. I love them and show
them off to anyone who drops by. The bird bath is used by both local birds and the deer who roam our
campus. I took this picture of deer right outside my window looking toward the meadow I have off my
patio. The cats love to sit on the window sills and watch all the wildlife. I miss you all but I do love it
here. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. As you know I sold almost everything in my house
so I have been buying new furniture, etc. like crazy. It is so much fun. I almost have the two bedroom
cottage furnished. I just bought a golf cart to get around campus. I am so lucky it fits in the garage with
the car. The cats are fine. See pictures. They have settled in very well. I have been to the coast to visit
my friend Dolly and she has been here for visits. The people here at Hillside are really interesting and
have varied backgrounds. I have already served on the audit committee for the Hillside Residents
Association 2014/15 books and joined the activities committee to help plan outings. We have a great
outdoor pool. See picture. I swim at least three times a week. I've been invited to join a neighborhood
book club and the book in October is "The Boys in the Boat" I went with a Hillside group on the bus to
see the musical "Oklahoma" in nearby Salem OR. The president of our residents association is a past
Oregon state AAUW president. However there is no AAUW branch in McMinnville. There are branches
in the state, but I have not had time yet to make a connection. I enjoy hearing about what you are doing
in Jefferson County. From what I can see from other branches web sites we are one of the most active
branches.
My new address is; 1015 NW Cascade Way, McMinnville, OR 97128 and my home number is 503-857-
0686. I had some problems with my cell phone as you probably know if you tired to call. I am getting a
new cell phone next week, and the number will remain the same 315-486-8831. I have a guest
bedroom for anyone coming this way.
I know some of you wanted to know when the auction house was selling my stuff. I never received that
information. I did get a check a couple of weeks ago from the sale. The house sold to the young military
family I met before I left.
I love you all and miss you.
Lynn
