Bogie, my friend who I have never met and my friend with whom I rarely disagree.

If I go out my in gate, RIGHT across the street there is a new street sign on the road that leads to Mark's house that says "Hammock Oaks".

That street leads past where some horsie's eat grass and wear pretty coats in the winter, past a newly planted huge stand of pines and back to a barn red biggum house with a metal roof that has Mark Morse's style written all over it.

And what, pray tell, is Mark Morse's "style?"

McMansion?

I don't know for sure if the home we watched being built as we went in and out our gates belongs to Mark Morse, but I remember Muncle telling us years ago on this forum that he attended one of the earlier "State of the Villages" yearly presentations held at the Savannah and described Mark Morse in an open collared shirt and jeans, and if I remember said he was a likeable and not pretentious person. That stuck with me.

When Henry and I attended the "State of the Villages" for the first time this year, he joked that he was wearing the same suit he had on last year for the event, that his sisters made him buy it and he hadn't had it on since last year.

The home I am guessing might be his is barn red with a metal roof and white touches. It looks from a distance to be wood sided and has the feel of a large ranch or farm house. The Morses like horses and privacy so another reason why I think it might be his are the hundreds of pine seedlings planted in an area between the home and the road.

I don't know if the home belongs to Mark Morse but he and his sisters were very warm and very articulate and you could sense the affection that connects them at the nicely presented "State of the Villages". Nieces and nephews, children and parents are continuing the business that employs thousands in this area and has changed Sumter County from one of the poorest counties in Florida to one of the lowest unemployment rates.

NO, I don't know any of them and this is the closest to any of them I have ever been; (Henry was first in line to get the first free tickets, thus our front row seats)
