Friday Meanderings

Okay, if you are one of my local readers, get your calendars out!

Big meeting in Inverness today.  Our “Access to the River” project is on the agenda for the Citrus County Legislative Delegation.  3:00.  We are getting closer to getting a public park on the river! The “Homosassa River Restoration Project” will be represented, too.  We’ve decided to wear blue to show our unity and the delegates will know who we are!

Saturday and Sunday there is a craft show at the Villages.  Supposed to be a good show.  We’ll be there to check out the talent if the weather is good!

Speaking of weather, it’s been lovely here.  I even mowed the yard today! Who does that in January? (Okay, I actually just mulched up the leaves since there hasn’t been any yard growth) We’re supposed to be getting some cold weather today but nothing like the rest of the country.

And back to the calendar….a really exciting meeting will be on Monday night at 7 pm at the Homosassa Civic Club.  Yes, it’s the monthly meeting of HCC.  Terry will be sworn in as president and some of our disgruntled members (yeah, there’s maybe 5 of them) have hinted that controversy will ensue!  Fun. Fun. Fun.

Tuesday morning at 9 am there will be a Board of County Commissioner meeting regarding the funding of the boat ramp on the barge canal.  At least one of our new commissioners is questioning putting the boat ramp there.  The funding and the boat ramp could be moved to the Homosassa River.  Whether you are for or against this idea, you should attend the meeting.

There’s more meetings.  But you don’t really want to go to those!

Have a great weekend!  And stay warm!

Monday Musings

I’m back!!!

And so sad that the holidays are over.  so sad.

All the bright lights and bling.  The parties. The food. The family. The friends.

Truly my favorite time of the year.  What do I have to look forward to in January?  Inauguration? Presidents Day? Martin Luther King Jr. day? How do I decorate for those?  And who actually has a sparkly party for those occasions?

But anyhow….

I was in North Dakota for five days.  Would have been six but there was a white-out blizzard in the tundra on Christmas Day and my flight was moved to Tuesday.  And it was 2 degrees when I landed.  I took my first breath of that frigid air my lungs froze up.  Really. I’ve been to ND many times during the cold months (which are september to april) in the past six years but it’s never been that cold or had that much snow.

That’s Grandson Riley and son Alan clearing out the driveway. Fun,right?
Elsa nor I are going out that door!

Fortunately, my son and daughter-in-law take very good care of me and most of my visit was spent indoors. (I did some shuffling bundled from the house to the car to the event) And I had a wonderful time despite all of those towering drifts of snow.

I suggested to granddaughter Piper that she could go out her back door, get on the top of the patio table, and sled to the bottom of the hill.  And she said “I hate sled-riding, it gets snow in my pants!”

Really. wouldn’t that be great? Toboggan from the top of that table to the bottom of that hill? I spent my first 26 years in Pennsylvania. Loved sled riding. Followed by hot cocoa with marshmallows!

That girl is destined to live in Florida with her G’ma! (when she’s 18!)

I traveled to ND to attend my daughter-in-laws 40th birthday party.  Like I mentioned in my last post I didn’t bring my camera.  All my snaps are from my iPhone.  Therefore, I don’t have any photos from the party or the partiers.

But here’s Piper and Adley all dressed up and ready to go!

Although I did grab my DIL’s camera and took a lot of snaps–that memory card is back in the cold white north.  And I’ve heard rumours that there is a video of me doing karaoke. (blackmail?) Very scary.

So, does anyone have any great resolutions or goals for 2-0-1-7????

I don’t.  I’m not a resoluting, goal-making kind of person.

But I will tell you now what I am not doing.

No more Project 365.  No posting a photo a day.  (Not that I actually posted every day this year) Sorry Yvonne!

The last few months I’ve been quite erratic on the whole photo a day thing.

I’ll still be taking pics–but not posting them daily.  It just got too difficult and turned into a trial rather than fun.

The joy was gone.

Again, Sorry Yvonne!

But, until our friends in Russia take over my blog, I’ll keep sporadically posting!

Thanks for continuing to follow my little (im) perfect life!
