Support for caregivers

Twice a month a group of people meet at the Senior Center at Highlands Park in Ben Lomond. The goal is to have a space to talk about the inevitable—how to best support someone before they die.

Healthy Living: The race that wasn’t

It had been four months since I last raced, and the itch to commit to something had grown incessant. Following the lead of my running partner, Erin, I signed up for the Santa Cruz Mountains 21k, a trail race from Harvey West Park through Pogonip and deep into Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, with two waist-deep river crossings.

The Mountain Gardener: Planting and Watering for Birds and Butterflies

Senior Moments

What a great place to shop and the sausage, meat, and poultry selections are terrific, not to mention the Leaf Lard that is available for my baking and fried chicken that I depend upon.
