Friday Meanderings

January 8, 2016 by KTgreen

Oh Jeeze Louize.

It’s already Friday.

I’ve been kind of stuck in my dark office and the week has flown by. Working on stuff. Good stuff.

If you haven’t got your tickets for the “Homosassa Goes Hollywood”, it’s not too late!

This is going to be so much fun. Cocktail Party. Silent Auction. Papparazzi. My super-duper video presentation. Oh yeah, and the movie “Crosswinds” that was filmed right here in Old Homosassa way back in 1951. I was not born yet but I’m pretty sure that Terry was maybe 4. He probably didn’t make the first Red Carpet Premier! But we’ll be there for this one!

(Can’t believe that “An American in Paris” won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1951.)

So what else is going on? How about those golf carts sharing the roads in Old Homosassa. Surprise to me, but some people are not happy about this big event. Like “what’s going to happen if I get t-boned by a golf cart?” Hmmmmm. Don’t have an answer to that one.

Golf carts have been here since we moved to Homosassa almost 13 years ago. Several months ago an overly-ambitious deputy decided to give warnings to golf cart drivers that they weren’t legal. Which prompted local residents to start a petition drive which led to a safety study by the county which led to the approval of the golf carts sharing the road by the county commissioners. Democracy in action. This effort took MONTHS! It was in the paper numerous times. And now we are hearing that there’s a whole lot of people that aren’t happy about it.

We don’t have a golf cart. But we supported the effort. Time to move on.

Terry Green, Secretary of the Homosassa Civic Club, Recent Retiree, and my Husband is the new Chairperson of the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival. Jeeze Louize. Retirement is supposed to be easy.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Day 7, January 1, 2015, Happy New Years!

We made it.

A New Year!

It’s time to make resolutions. Last year I had a few, if you want to check up on them, here’s my post from January 2, 2015.

And how did I do?

I wanted to take more and better photos so I joined a Project 365 photography group. I’m not sure if my photos are any better from the experience but I took a lot of them. And I’m starting a new edition for 2016. But this time I’m making my own rules. I will try to post a photo a day. But only if it’s a good photo that reflects a moment. I’m not just taking a picture of my wine glass or Maggie and throwing that up there because I made a commitment. (Well, you’ll still probably get pics of Maggie cause she’s so cute) Or maybe I’ll post two photos for the day…or three…or none. The most difficult part of the 2015 version was getting the photos posted every day. Didn’t happen. Won’t happen in 2016, either.

One of my resolutions for last year was to play the piano, banjo, or ukulele more often and get over my fear of performing in front of people. I’m in two jam groups now and can get through a piece (slowly) on my happy banjo without losing control of my fingers. That’s a huge step. Still have to work on it but I have hope!

I also resolved to read more books last year. My reading was sporadic–mostly on long driving trips. I will do better this year.

I really don’t have any new goals for 2016. Just to continue enjoying life and truly appreciating the people and places around me. I really have so much to be thankful for.

Have a great year!
