The Happy Place - A Great Idea

One of the things we like about Terra Mariae, our little 55 and over community that we now call home, is that it is small (only 70 houses), compact (One long street and two short ones), out of the way of traffic and crime and noise, and there are lots of people who want to get involved.

And it's a perfect place to take a stroll.

So when Neighbor Scott Goodwin decided to build a pergola in one of the large green space areas about half way down the long street, he knew it would be a welcome spot for strollers to get out of the sun or rain.  Not to mention just a nice comfortable place to enjoy a book or just watch the birds.

He decided to pay for it and build it himself.  But that's when a few neighbors jumped in to help.  This was just too good of an idea to NOT be involved in it.

I made a short video showing how the efforts of a few paid off.  Take a look:

The Happy Place

Nice huh?

Not shown in the video is the concrete floor.  He paid for that too.

And he has since built a horseshoe pit.
