So today is the day that all the offices, government, and banks are closed. Cause Independence Day is on SUNDAY! So what are you doing on the most patriotic day of the year? Not watching fireworks I bet!
We bought a new flag cause our previous one was kind of getting worn. The new flag is flying very beautifully in front of our home.
I’m kinda staying in and trying to NOT watch the news. Not very successfully, of course.
But. I am more boring than I used to be. I have nothing much clever to say.
But. It appears that face masks have turned into a huge political battle. After going to DC last week, I am wearing a face mask. 100% of the people we saw on the streets of DC, Maryland, and Virginia wore face coverings. And they are not spiking. Well, not as badly as Florida….
But. Scalloping started on Wednesday. Kinda boring to have it start in the middle of the week. Haven’t noticed a whole lot of boat trailers looking for parking spots. That will probably start TODAY! Yippee. Terry and I WILL be on our bikes checking out the mayhem. And taking pics. Next week maybe I won’t be quite so boring!
But. Even though I said Yippee. I am not enthused with this time of the year. We are trying so hard to save the Homosassa River. But the “Blue Water” is over run. Boats from one end to the over. It’s a major party. Scallop shells, cans, trash, and pee-pee are in the water. Boaters can walk between all the vessels. I have no solutions for this situation. All the groups that we belong to continue to battle. Besides all the tourists, there is so much governmental Bureaucratic bungling.
Heavy sigh.
Okay. On to good news.
The Homosassa Baptist Church Youth Group will be parking trucks with trailers and any other vehicle that needs a spot starting Saturday at the Homosassa Civic Club. I’m guessing $10 a spot. These kids finance their Bible camp with the funds they collect. Well, that’s what they used to use the funds for. Is there still camp? No matter. I’m sure that they will use it for good causes! It’s a great Church and the leaders are amazing. We lend them our golf cart to drive to the boat ramp and back.
I am so boring. I don’t even have a DOG OF THE WEEK! Cause I’ve been staying away from the masses. Okay. Gotta admit. On our walk yesterday we had Zack the Jack Russell come out to say HI! and a sweet little pooch that usually ignores us came over to get some cuddles. Anytime I have a dog come seek me out is a GOOD day! But I didn’t have my camera with me. Not even my iPhone!
I hope everyone has a great holiday. And as always, stay safe!
