THE SECRET LIVES OF MERMAIDS

The Bonnet sisters summered with their family at their Bonnet Creek Estate, Florida.  As children they would frolic in the water, dreaming themselves transformed into mythical sea creatures.  To see them swim – you’d swear they were part mermaid – a rumor they would never refute.  As they grew, they blossomed into true water goddesses – smart, fashionable and fit, loved by everyone.  Over time stories of these sociable young ladies became more and more sensational.  People spoke of their effervescent charm and cool grace, wondering if the local waters held the secret to eternal youth.  Several were certain they had seen fins or tails glittering under the waves.  Summers came and went, and still the myth endured.  Some say when the moon is full and bright, you can still see the Bonnet sisters shimmering in the blue waters, as if following their bliss to the stars.
