She detailed the cleanliness of the park, described the fruit trees including avocados, oranges, and other fruits. But the park is more than just a location with an over-productive activities calendar, Howie explained. It’s a place filled with neighborly – almost familial – care and concern for others. “It’s a very close-knit community,” said Howie, who has lived at the park with her husband Chet for five years and is originally from near St. Louis. “That’s one thing I can say for sure, that people are here for each other.” Howie went on to tell the story of a resident who had major surgery. Residents (aka family) took care of their neighbor, bringing meals, taking him to and from doctor’s appointments and making sure his recovery was seamless. Just a group of friends taking care of their own. “That’s what we do,” Howie said. “Everyone here is so friendly.” And maybe one day, you’ll see Karen or her husband Chet entertaining the folks. After all, they moved to the Valley from Branson, Missouri. “My husband thinks he’s an entertainer,” Howie joked. “But he’s not.” With all the events, activities and socializing going on in the park, there may not be a time slot available for him anyways. But one never knows.
