Arrival of Kathleen Stone and Grant Neie

We've been anticipating the arrival of Kathleen Stone, an old friend who visited us last in the mid 80's. She and her husband, Grant, spend all afternoon with us. They are considering CR as a possible future retirement home. Kathleen, who wants to be able to serve as a Baha'i pioneer, is trying to work out a nice balance with her husband who's supportive of the Faith but is also hoping to continue his passion as a world-class surfer!

We had a delightful time getting to know them both. (Well, I spent more time speaking with Grant, while Julie was with Kathleen.)

I really clicked with Grant, who is employed as a nurse, but is also an expert in Reiki (he applied his healing technique to me while relating a very interesting history of the origins of Reiki). Grant searches for spiritual richness through meditation and practice of what he believes.
He graciously gifted us with the latest body surfing goodie: a body board which was developed by Bruce Blumenfeld in coordination with Tom Morey, the world famous inventor of the Boogie board. It's called the Wave Skater


Thank you so much for this and for your visit. Hopefully, we'll be seeing you guys again soon.
