I hope you and Brad will stop by sometime...would love to show you what we have done here. Take care, Mike and Jo 4/21/2011 Page 1 of 1 Hi Joanne...Mike and i are so enjoying living in our house on Seashore! we absolutely love it even more each day! It's been a slow go at getting it back in shape but worth every minute. So here is my submission for naming the park across the street... I truly believe we are led to things in our life by a power greater than we are. 1 believe when we find whatever we are looking for it is called...Serenity...Serenity Park would be my choice for living across the street from such a beautiful, serene setting. As each day unfolds we look at the most gorgeous pond...usually the start of an egrets morning hunt, a wood storks walk, a turtles first swim...or an early morning roost for Kite birds. The day goes on to include quiet fisherman...some with children in tow, couples sitting on the benches...as we did wishing for this home...people walking around enjoying the park tables for lunch. The evening closes with families and pets walking by, enjoying waves and conversation as the sun sets out over the pond. The serenity that this park has brought to so many is priceless..a beautiful place to start and end a day. serenity Park. The park is maintained so well...the employees always kind and courteous. 1 would love to have another bench added in front by our house to sit and watch the beautiful sunsets. The turtles are so fun to watch also!
