OSSN Discovers the Magic of the Gulf Coast!
by Melody Fee, OSSN Vice President

It's a whole new scene for OSSN! After 16 months in the planning, we've moved the main headquarters to a great new location! Do we miss Jupiter, FL? Oh, yes, it was a GREAT place to live and work for 15 years! So what drew us to Manatee County on the west coast of Florida? Well, let me tell you! It is just as fun and exciting on this coast of beautiful Florida as it is on the east coast! We really love the change and the new "digs!" ( That would be both the offices and the "mini" ranch!) We call it "Painted Palms" and according to OSSN president, it is NOT a farm, because he is NOT into " E-I-E-I-O"…it is a ranch. And that would make him a "wanna-be" rancher.

OSSN headquarters is now located on a 10-acre property just about 20 miles east of the Gulf of Mexico on the outskirts of both Sarasota and Bradenton, FL. The scenery out the office window is, of course, my favorite one……two gorgeous American Paint horses that graze and mow my grass at the same time! That is real horsepower! And if you haven't heard the story…..this entire move happened because of a used saddle that I bought along side of highway 70 on my way from Jupiter across the state to St Petersburg. It was one of those revelations that says to us "Life is short…live it to the fullest." And I really missed having equine friends in my life. So here we are!
