Wow, wow and wow! Stacie offered a tour of her garden last week and we all merrily floated from tree to flower to stained glass creation and back to flowers again. The rain let up just long enough to enjoy 2 hours in this magical space that Stacie has created over the last 15 years.
Thank you for sharing your space with us Stacie and to everyone that braved the threat of wind and rain to enjoy it with us.

Curious about joining a Methow At Home event? Check out our events calendar and find something that sparks your interest. Nearly all of our events are open to the public. We’d love to see you there!

What’s the recipe for a great community? We may not know the exact formula, but we certainly have the right ingredients.

Methow At Home volunteers show up every week for their neighbors — a simple act that seeds benefits far beyond the individual. When we feel supported and connected, we’re more able to give back, and that energy ripples outward.

Take Al and Claude. Al’s volunteer hours give him a meaningful way to connect, while Claude gains the same in return. It’s mutual. By keeping older adults engaged and rooted in community life, we’re building the kind of community we all hope to age in.

And here’s something worth knowing: one of the most powerful things you can do for your health has nothing to do with a gym or a diet. It’s connection. Real, meaningful relationships sharpen your mind, strengthen your body, and — research suggests — can actually add years to your life.

Shout out to for offering that third space where community happens on the daily. Thank you to Al & Claude for sharing your weekly coffee time with us!

Our community isn't just a program or a service — it's a home base. A circle of people who look out for one another and make the years ahead something to look forward to.

We'd love for you to be part of it 👋

Join FOWL, Trailsend Bookstore and Methow At Home for a special evening with award-winning author Brenda Miller at the Winthrop Library!

On May 28 from 6:30–8:00 PM, Brenda will share from her latest book Love You, Bye: A Daughter’s Journey in Essays and Poems.

The title—drawn from the simple phrase she and her mother said to each other for years—captures the bittersweet essence of a book that finds profound meaning in the most ordinary expressions of love.

At the center of this collection lies the story of Miller's journey as the "wayward daughter" who becomes the devoted caregiver to her aging parents, chronicling her father's gradual decline and her mother's final months with remarkable vulnerability. From the rituals of Passover to the silence of hospice rooms, from the mysterious appearances of tree frogs to the sacred work of singing at deathbeds, Miller weaves together the ordinary and the transcendent, often finding that the sacred is embedded in the mundane.

Miller's voice moves seamlessly between prose and poetry, between humor and heartbreak, between the personal and the universal. She transforms the simple act of saying goodbye into an art form and the everyday language of love into something approaching prayer. Love You, Bye is essential reading for anyone navigating the complexities of aging parents, the mysteries of faith, or the simple courage required to keep loving in a world that can break our hearts.

We hope you can join us!
