I was getting bored with doing the Friday holiday. (I admit it, I get bored easily!)
Then my niece posted that today is SNEAK SOME ZUCCHINI INTO YOUR NEIGHBOR’S PORCH DAY.
Had to do some fact checking but she was right! How could I skip a holiday like that!
So, if you have any zucchini. You now know what to do with it. Here in Florida, zucchini has already been harvested but I bet my kids in North Dakota could sneak some zucchini to some unsuspecting neighbors porches!
Okay, now it’s time to talk about the Old Homosassa Learning Center. It’s turning into the center of our great community. The fitness classes are crazy popular. The Homosassa Ukers group is fun, fun, fun. The Sew Cool! Workshop is a gathering place for creative people.
I have met so many people through the OHLC that I would have NEVER met! Such a diverse group of people. LOVE IT!
For instance, Amanda came to the OHLC last summer inquiring about how her four children could benefit from our learning center. A year later, Allora has her Gold Award from Girl Scouts and her daughter Natalya is the young lady working on her scallop project for her Gold Award.
This week’s pics…
Both Natalya and Allora have learned ukulele at the learning center and are part of the Homosassa Ukers. And they volunteer at OHLC. The younger two girls go to all of the after-school enrichment programs and one of them gets extra tutoring from our favorite tutor. Oh yeah, we have piano lessons that one of the young girls takes, too.
Did I mention that all classes for the kids are free????
And. Summer camp. Free. Six weeks with two teachers from our school district. And I wish I was 10 years old and could go!
The Homosassa Civic Club just started a new scholarship for the kids that volunteer. The first recipient was Austin Price, a Key Club member that volunteered for all three years of the Summer Camp. The kids LOVE HIM.
OHLC is changing lifes.
Can you tell that I’m excited to be part of the change?
And on to other stuff. We took a day trip to Cedar Key for lunch. Why all that way? Cause we can! And we have a cool car.
And I’m going to close with some butterfly pics. I believe it wasn’t all that many weeks ago that I was whining that I wasn’t getting any butterflies. Still not as many as I have had in the past but I do have butterflies and moths visiting again.
Oh. I gotta have a damn squirrel pic!
I hope you have a great weekend!
