So excited!

Jes and Andrew are flying in tonight!

Nothing but fun there!

We’ll be boating and eating and drinking and partying.

Same old, same old.Cause it’s always a party in Old Homosassa!

I haven’t posted as much as usual this week. Banjo Camp set me back a little.

And then I met up with a cousin that I haven’t seen in many many years. He claimed 50. So I was 9 the last time I saw him?

cousins — That’s me, Al, my sister Ellen, and my niece Michelle.

After a lovely lunch with my sister Ellen (the famous artist) and my niece Michelle (the famous blogger) Al and I plus two of his friends went to the Florida National Cemetery to see my parent’s grave site. My dad was in the army in WWII so that’s where he and my mom are buried. It’s a beautiful site–well cared for–but HUGE. Even though I had a map and had the numbers where their plot is, it took awhile to find it.

But we did.

And what’s going on this weekend?

A great band on Saturday evening at the Shed. We plan to be there!

Oh yeah, and it’s Easter. Easter egg coloring and hunts will ensue!

Most important of ALL!

Next week we have lots of meetings.

Monday at 7 pm is the monthly Homosassa Civic Club meeting. It costs $3.00 to belong to this group. They do a lot of good works and the membership is dwindling. We need YOU to join. Come on, 3 bucks. Be there a little early so you can join. One hour of your life once a month.

Wednesday night at 5:30 is the Old Homosassa Heritage Council Meeting held at the Gator Den. This group’s dues are a bit more. $15. This group is working on preserving and enhancing Old Homosassa starting with the water tower. In the meantime we are watching the progress of our new sidewalks and trying to keep tabs on everything in Old Homosassa!

The River Alliance meets Thursday evening. I’m not a member of this group but they also are a plus to the community. Their current big project is to stop the hotel that’s planned on Halls River Road. That development is nothing but ridiculous. Terry and I will be attending the hearing in Inverness on April 14th at 5:01 pm.

Okay. That’s it!

Have a great Easter!

I’m off to Banjo Camp today. “A Few Days in Banjo Paradise”

This is also the weekend that all the mermaids go to Cedar Key for the Art Festival. It is a long standing tradition. We stay at Mermaid Landings. Eat a lot. Drink a lot. Laugh a lot.

Okay, I’m not actually a mermaid but the lovely mermaids that formerly swam at Weeki Wachee allow me to hang out with them.

And I decided to throw my mermaid friends over and go to Banjo Camp. Suwannee Banjo Camp. In Live Oak.

Terry and I changed out the banjo strings Sunday. And broke the banjo.

Was this a sign from the mermaid goddesses that I should be with the mermaids?

After much research and emailing my banjo mentor numerous times, we fixed it.

Sorry mermaid goddesses. Gotta go. New banjo friends await!

In other news….

Nothing much going on in Citrus County because I won’t be here to cover it!

Well, other than Sarasota Slim will be at The Shed at MacRae’s on Sunday at 2 pm. Might be back in time for that!

Have a great weekend!

Country Feed and Supply

March 23, 2015 by KTgreen

I was out and about taking important photographs and Terry and I stopped at the Country Feed and Supply Store to get sunflower seed to keep the birds in the hood singing.

Since I had my camera…..

Here’s a few snaps I took at the shop,

These Chickens are called Show Girls. Didn’t really like the spotlight! Or the camera! Don’t know how successful they’ll be as showgirls.

This cat likes to say hi to me when we stop in. We’re buds.

There weren’t as many peeps as usual and no ducklings but the nice woman at the counter said, “go out back and see the rabbits. They’re almost big enough to butcher.”

WHAT!

BUNNY — You are a big bunny, but I will not eat you. Unless there is a zombie apocalypse. Then yes, you might be dinner.

As we left the store we caught a glimpse of the house behind the store. Totally amazing statues in the yard. I was so awestruck, I couldn’t even take pictures.

I must find out more. The Country Supply and Feed is on Grover Cleveland. If anyone knows about the house or who created those creatures, let me know!
