Life in Oakhurst

About the Book

Writing little snippets about my daily life is nothing more than trying to remain connected to people I care about most. How often do we cruise through life not relishing even the tiniest of successes, “learning opportunities” and pleasures… much less sharing those chosen moments with people that support and even look forward to our next adventure in “life”. 2002 was the year of loss for my husband and I. Not all of our losses were negative… between the two of us… we lost over 100 lbs.! Once you’ve experienced the type of losses we did during this year, you begin to take stock in your values, dreams and priorities. So in an attempt to redefi ne ourselves… we sold our “fully paid for” San Diego based home and moved to a one- bedroom, two-story, beyond-ugly green, “get away pad” on a ten acre parcel on Deadwood Mountain. (Makes me want to keep an eye out for Outlaw/ Rustlers…) A perfectly reasonable diversion for two city folks, with the belief that bears belong in the zoo… and lattes should be available on every street corner! Why not uproot the declawed cats, and never consider asking ourselves the question “So… what is the difference between septic and sewer? What we found, are the experiences that make us smile, question (what were we thinking?) and somehow…some way appreciate our new life through the absurd and benign evolution of every day events. To add to the mayhem, we decided to become innkeepers and pool our resources together to build our own little slice of heaven as we create “the perfect Bed and Breakfast”. It didn’t really matter that I never met a bed I ever wanted to make up… or the thought of scrubbing toilets leaving me a little disgruntled. It was the idea of living in paradise and sharing it with great people along the way. So here we are… sharing a few “snippets” of Life in Oakhurst…
