SereNole Lodge: The House that Jack Built

09/04/2024

There are new owners of Serenole Lodge as of this past spring. Jackson has met them and they seem good folks. They sure had a time getting the photos and memorobilia that went with the house back from the previous person.
They arent living here yet, but have a crew living there and working on the property to clean it up again outside and fix things that need fixing.
They arent sure what they are going to do, possibly a bed n breakfast/VRBO but they do plan on honoring Daddys memory and keeping it alive. So far we have good neighbors! Always a blessing.

HEY YOU ARTISTS OUT THERE I have some bundles of the tin roofing shingles that came off the old Faceville school for sale. There are about 10 to 20 in a bundle. Eash shingle is about 10x15 in. These have made great art pieces. Ive painted scenes on them as well as painting fun signs I sold under the name of "Tin Memories". Giving the history of the shingle on a paper attached to the back.
If any of you artists out there are interested, you have this week only to come get a bundle or twelve. $10 a bundle. Daddy bought them from the owners of the Faceville school that was torn down in 1975. He was going to use them on the roof of the log house. Mother changed his mind.🤣
