Just about ten years ago, San and I revived our notion of living in cohousing and she started talking to some other folks with children at Sudbury Valley School. The first official general meeting of what was originally called Sudbury Valley Cohousing but soon became Mosaic Commons Cohousing took place in our living room in Watertown in January 2000. After too many trials and tribulations, we moved into our home in the now physically existing Mosaic Commons Cohousing at Sawyerhill EcoVillage this spring [BTW: there still are homes available; if you want to live in a cool place with cool people just outside Boston/Cambridge, check it out]. The center of our community, our fabulous Common House, was not ready to be used because of various construction and permitting issues. Well, last night, after we had received a (temporary) certificate of occupancy in the morning, we had our first common meal in our Common House. September 1st shall henceforth be known as Common House Day in our neighborhood. Here, courtesy of our friend and neighbor Tim, are some pictures:
