Schindler Commune, Port Charlotte, Fl.

Joel and Lindy’s has been the traditional gathering place for family feasts. The spacious kitchen, dining and living rooms are undivided. There is plenty of room to set up extra tables.

They will be moving out of this house they’ve lived in for many years and into the house they’ll be sharing with John and Shirley. Here are views of the neighborhood they will be leaving:

John and Shirley’s former residence is up this canal about 300 yards. Their son, Dan is moving in there so he can care for the sailboat!
