This is my 9-year-old daughter Lauren’s clubhouse. Built off the ground to resemble a beach-style cottage, it has double French doors, windows front and back, a fountain and a porch swing. Lauren and her twin cousins, Jessica and Emily, enjoy sleepovers in the loft. A ground-level deck offers a hammock, and Adirondack chairs.  Lauren enjoys reading, playing games, doing homework and hanging out with her Shih Tzu dog Buddy, but most of all it is one of their favorite spots to relax (and Dad’s, too). Their clubhouse was built with love for a sweet, beautiful and loving daughter by me and my friends Donald Neems, Robert Hatcher and Lowell Oakley, for whom we are very thankful.
