Variety Show!

Here are some photos taken by Joan at our Variety Show.  The acts and music were terrific, especially those provided by our youngest Villagers!

Sulekha and Jean provided our Variety Show audience with a dazzling Bollywood dance!  Here’s a movie of their moves!

Memorial Day Picnic 2010

A community picnic on Memorial Day found a cadre of Manzanita Village neighbors enjoying a shady day at Goldwater Lake in Prescott.  Potlucks make partying easy and those who come early or stay late have the added enjoyment of a hike around the lake.

Gardening and Canning

2010 was a outstanding year for gardening and canning efforts in Manzanita Village.  Peach and plum trees took the prize with their remarkable yields.  Community members worked together to preserve the summer fruits and vegetables. Village members enjoyed peach salsa, plum sauce and jam, peach butter and applesauce well into fall and winter.


Camping Trip

Camping at a nearby campground found Manzanita Villagers in a relaxation mode with no meeting nor work party waiting.  Hiking, snoozing, dog walking, playing games, eating, reading and visiting were the order of the day.  At night, when the campfire died down and the snacks disappeared, villagers made their way to their various campers, tents and truck beds and one couple even crawled into bed in the back of their Prius!
