So.

I won!vote

I was surprised since I really didn’t think I knew that many people.

And I didn’t.

The people I do know told their friends and they told their friends and ……

now I’m a commissioner on the Homosassa Special Water District!

Very excited!

It’s a small district.  But it’s the only independent water district in the county.  Very cool. There’s a lot of work to be done and I’m looking forward to being part of the group.

So what else is going on?

The Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival is SATURDAY and SUNDAY!

Don’t miss it!

This will be the best festival ever!

Great Art.  True Crafts.  Music. Seafood.

Just when you thought you’d seen enough, keep on walking and hit some of our own local unique art galleries.

And it’s all in Old Homosassa!

I’ll be in an orange shirt.  Oh wait, all the volunteers will have on orange shirts!

Have a great weekend!

And the beat goes on….

My apologies.

I thought I’d get to put some “photo of the day” here all week from Project 365 but it didn’t happen.  My life isn’t my own.  Just spent 2 hours on the phone with a reporter.  And that’s the way every day is. Perhaps not a reporter but some kind of flux.

Except not really.

We are trying to make a difference but perhaps we are WAY OVER OUR HEADS!

Election

Homosassa Civic Club turmoil

Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival

Tent City in Old Homosassa

Along with my typical every day disarray.

Reporter says the article will be in the paper on Friday.

Could be ugly.

But we will go on.

Karma.  Will. Bite. Some. Ass.

Something fun I did get to do this week is go to Crystal River and get a tour of the Kings Bay Restoration Project by Gator Dredging.  They are cleaning up the canals.  Have several more years before it’s done but they are making a difference.

The tour was requested by the “Access to the River” Committee.  We need to get this done on the Homosassa River but it takes a lot of money.  Crystal River has a lot of rich donars and a lot of funding from the state.

Here’s some photos in no particular order.2016_11_01swiftmudsm 2016_11_01safetyfirstsm 2016_11_01lyngbyasm 2016_11_01kingsbayrestorationproject1sm 2016_11_01groupphoto2sm 2016_11_01groupphoto1sm 2016_11_01dredge2sm 2016_11_01dredge1sm 2016_11_01demo2sm 2016_11_01demo1sm

So. Are you thinking.  All those old people.  What can they do?

Good People doing Good Things.  Put that in your calendar or diary or whatever you mark stuff down in.

We still got at least 20 years.  We will do A LOT!

It was a really great tour.  And then several us went to Crackers to have dinner. Because I am all about fun!

I got a Grouper Reuben.  No photo but it had sauerkraut on it.  (in case you don’t know, some places use coleslaw–what??? but I still eat them.  Cause I still love fish and I still love a reuben and I gained 3POUNDS from that bit of late night dining!)

This weekend is jammed packed with festivals!  The Blues and BBQ will be at the Homosassa Civic Club festival grounds.  Stone Crab Jam is in Crystal River.  Inverness is having a fine arts event.  So much to do!

Next week is the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival.  Nothing else is going on anywhere in the county.  Or perhaps anywhere in the state.  Be there!  Not too late to volunteer!

Have a great weekend!

Friday Meanderings

I’ve taken a step back as two of my friends advised through the comments here.  Took a week off.  I do enjoy posting my thoughts and photos.  It takes a LOT of time to edit the pictures.  Not so much time to meander here.

Since I started my other blog Designs by KTGreen I haven’t dedicated as much time here. I’m attempting to put up two DIY projects a week and write about them. Add to that, I’m in many community clubs and committees.  When I join one of these groups, I am a very active volunteer.  I also do the websites and graphic design for two of the groups.  If you see any Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival flyers or website, I designed them.

Oh yeah, I’m running for Seat 1 of the Homosassa Special Water District.

I also like to have FUN and try to keep up with my friends and family.

But I want to keep busy and I was managing just fine.  Until I, along with Terry and several other hard-working members of the Homosassa Civic Club, was slandered on FaceBook.  That made me very sad. The slandering will continue because we have not resolved that particular problem.  We are working on it.

Taking the week off helped.  I’ll attempt to get back into posting next week.  I might start out with just putting up my photo of the day.

Have a great weekend!
