Take Time To Smell The Roses

We have a sweet life in Three Rivers!

Last week my husband and I spent the afternoon in our backyard on lounge chairs, enjoyed a glass of wine and basked in the sun. As we regaled each other with stories from our work week, we began to unwind. Shortly thereafter our conversations drifted from politics, to the weather to what we were going to prepare for dinner.

It was as though we were on a vacation ourselves. Our dog, Berkeley, joined us "on vacation" as we enjoyed dips in the river and dried off on the warm rocks.

A highlight of the day was watching the river rafters journey by us. Their shouts of glee were such a thrill. It is always a pleasure to see other people enjoying Three Rivers. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful, peaceful place.

For river rafting on the Kaweah!

As I lounge on a boulder down by the river in my backyard sipping red wine, the sounds of Three Rivers surrounds me: the water rushing by, the birds chirping, the frogs croaking and the crickets strumming a melody. My focus is interrupted as I hear a faint sound that is getting louder.

It is a rafting guide shouting out stroke commands. Also heard are the sounds of cheering rafters as they overcome the class 4 obstacles on the river.

As they float by, we exchange waves and a quick hello. Then all is silent again with only the songs of nature to assist my imagination as I ponder the thought of how living in Three Rivers is like being on vacation 365 days a year! Come join me!

Eagle Pride

Our students in Three Rivers have so many great opportunities. Local artist, Nadie Spencer, gifts kids the chance to develop their artistic side. I drove by our local drug store and noticed a wall of color. For the 25 years that I have lived in Three Rivers, this wall has always been plain.

I pulled over to watch the progress. As the kids, clad in black trash bag aprons, joyfully worked on the new wall art, the pictures began to take shape. Won't it be fun for these little ones to bring visitors to view "their wall"?

Above is the sample of what the finished project will look like. Drive by the Village Market Center to meet a talented local artist and view the work in progress.

I love how people in this town, like Nadie, do nice things for each other just because...

"Where in the world would you ever find a place like this"?

Seasons Of Three Rivers

On Sunday Team Diana invited the town to view a breathtaking DVD of Three Rivers. These beauty shots set to music were many years of accumulated photos. Above are a few examples.

We were not sure how many people would show up. Expecting the best, we rented St. Anthony's Retreat and had the event catered. The sanctuary seated 150. As our neighbors filed in, the chairs filled and some people were standing.

We were so blessed to see and visit with so many of our neighbors! Guests exclaimed that they enjoyed taking the time to remember why we all live in Three Rivers. The event was a huge success and Team Diana looks forward to future opportunities to gather with the people that make Three Rivers home to us.

Have you heard of Wii?

Yesterday Team Diana went to a relist a beautiful home in Three Rivers! After the business part of our meeting, energetic Diana G. was given an instruction on how to Wii. In this photo she attemped to catch the hula hoops as the computer virtually threw the at her. Technology is amazing. C &C- thanks for the introduction to Wii.

You Are Invited!

Over the years Team Diana has accumulated many amazing photos of Three Rivers. We have created a DVD set to beautiful music featuring those photos. Isn’t it interesting how everyone who lives in Three Rivers says that THEY have the best spot? Three Rivers is the best! This DVD demonstrates the beauty of Three Rivers and highlights many of the “best spots”.

In this challenging economy it is a good time to rejoice in what we have and the blessing it is to live in Three Rivers. Team Diana would like to host a very special viewing of the Three Rivers DVD. The DVD is approximately 30 minutes long and afterward we will be serving complimentary refreshments.

The date is Sunday May 3rd. The time is 4:00. The location is at Saint Anthony’s Retreat. We will also have a raffle after the movie and during the refreshment time.

This event is our gift to the community. We look forward to gathering with our friends and neighbors on this day. It will be a relaxing event to remember. All are invited!

"After all, where in the world would you ever find a place like this?"

...BuT i hAve tHe beST PrOpertY in Three Rivers!!!

Right now we are in the office laughing jubilantly. There is a client sitting in here telling us that he has the best river spot in Three Rivers. It is so comical because everyone tells us that. And... Diana G is confident that SHE has the best river spot in Three Rivers. Diana J. interjects that everyone is mistaken because SHE definitely has the most beautiful river spot in town. It is so wonderful to live in a community where everyone thinks they have the best spot!

Call us for private tour of our personal river spots and we will convince you that OURS IS THE BEST!
