Friday Meanderings

 

I’m taking a break for a couple weeks.  Probably be back after the Homosassa Arts, Crafts and Seafood Festival.  We’ve been busy, busy, busy so I gotta give up something!

Hope to see you at the Festival!

THE SUITCASE PARTY

Suitcase Party

This was the best party I’ve EVER been too.  Sorry to all of my friends that I’ve said that same thing to.  But this was really a GREAT PARTY for a really great cause!

The idea is, you buy a ticket.  Pack a suitcase.  Go to the hangar at the Inverness airport.  Party like there’s no tomorrow.  And wait to hear if you won a trip.

Lots of drinks.

A Ton of Food!

Cirque Soliel

They were pouring champagne in patrons’ mouths from that high perch!

A chance to win a flight out to New Orleans, a drive to St. Augustine or Orlando, or a cruise.

Suitcase Party

We didn’t win.  Actually I have my wee pooch Maggie so we didn’t plan on going anywhere!

They actually let us get really close (and even inside) the jet!

That’s my friend Melinda. Her mother and daughter were working the event as volunteers, too.
Suitcase Party
Crazy live art and music. Plus lots of live and silent auctions.

Seriously. Best Party Ever!  So many of our friends were there. And so many of our friends did all the work.

And we made a few new friends!

And all the money went to the Boys and Girls Club of Citrus County!

TOO MUCH FUN!

A big thanks to Jon and Shelly, owners of Old Mill Tavern and HUGE contributors to this event. Plus Melissa Olbeck who does the organizing and everything that goes with that.  These people know how to throw a party and raise big bucks!  We helped them out at the Mullet Toss in July but we just had FUN at this event.

BEST PARTY EVER!

So looking forward to next year!

Friday Meanderings

Went to a Town Hall Meeting.

And it was great.

town hall meeting

Does anyone ever say that about anything political?????

County Commissioner Ron Kitchen called the meeting.  This is the third one he has held.  And we’ve been to all three.

We’ve also been to two or three County Commission meetings.  Plus did a presentation at the TDC (Tourist Development Committee) which he is the head of.

Oh…..I should add that Ron Kitchen has come to at least two of our “Access to the River” meetings.

I am so impressed with Commissioner Kitchen.  I might not agree with everything he says but he listens to us and treats EVERY question with respect.  I’ve emailed him a few times and he has always answered.

He starts his meetings on time and ends them exactly at that ending minute.  I LOVE THAT!

Weird. Right?  This is politics!!!!!!

In this pic I’m not sure what everyone is reaching for….Bags? Keys? Guns?

It was a great great meeting.

We are going to the Suitcase Party tonight. That is going to be so much fun.  We’ve got a designated driver.  Okay.  We liked him a lot before we found out that he doesn’t drink!

But now he’s got bonus points!

All the money goes to the Boys and Girls Club of Citrus County.

There might be photos on Monday.

Or maybe not.  Depends on how much fun everyone has!

Have a great weekend!
