Got home from ND and then Jes and Andrew came to visit five days later.
We usually have a party when they come to visit with friends and family but we just weren’t ready to do that after driving from ND. (Jes said that she never saw our cupboards so bare!)
Headed to the airport right now so Jes can return to DC.
Here’s a bunch of snaps from our weeklong adventure!
I always feel like after Labor Day it’s time to get BACK TO WORK!
I’m returning to posting over on NatureCoaster.com and attempting to post twice a week on DesignsbyKTGreen.com. Just depends on how many projects I get finished!
She did pretty well for a 17 1/2 year old dog. But I think that’s the last road trip for her. (Mostly because Terry and I are worn out from all that driving!) It’s flying for me next time!
Had fun. If you follow me on Instagram you may have already seen some of these snaps. But, just in case you didn’t….
FIERCE!Aunt Jes arrived for a week long visit!Adley waiting for her guests! Such a good little hostess. She greeted everyone with a hug and a kiss!Faces still fogged up from sleep, the “Peterson” girls wish us good-bye! They were so tired but still so beautiful!
And we were gone! Back to Homosassa! Miss them all!
Got to correct some statements from last week’s meanderings.
First, the Fall After School session at the Old Homosassa Learning Center will begin on September 11th. We thought we could get it all together by the 5th but we have a lot to do! The new coordinator, Ruth Toner-Hatfield, met with the principal at the elementary school this week. The plan was to meet much earlier but the beginning of a new school year is a busy time and that’s the first time Mrs. Harrell had available. We are very excited to have Ruth running the program. She’s a retired educator and has great ideas to make learning fun for the kids. Last year when I was trying to coordinate everything I knew I was in way over my head! It takes a special person with a special skill set to be a teacher. That’s not me!
Besides perfecting this year’s school program, we also have some cleaning, organizing and painting to do in the learning center building.
The second correction is on the yoga program. After a lot of discussion with Tiffany, our yoga teacher, and many of the students, there is a new schedule. Continuing Yoga for all levels on Tuesday from 5:30 – 6:30, Wednesday and Saturday from 10 am – 11 am, a new class has been added on Wednesday mornings from 9 am – 9:45 am. This is a yin/restorative session meant for beginning students.
Got more stuff going on. Like the Old Homosassa Heritage Park. Don’t have details yet but will share as soon as I have some.
And just gotta say, haters gotta hate. They are still out there on social media spreading their lies and innuendos. The community here in Homosassa is stronger than ever. We have over 90 members in the Civic Club now. Many of them active members ready to help when the call goes out! From adversity grows strength!
The Homosassa Arts, Crafts and Seafood festival committee is pulling everything together. This festival brings the money into the civic club that in turn gives it back to youth groups, veterans organizations, and our community.
So what’s going on for us this weekend? Jes and Andrew are coming to visit! There might be some….Scalloping. Eating. Drinking, Dancing. Celebrating!
School started last week. Watch out for those school buses!
Work is going on a the Old Homosassa Learning Center. New doors. Deep cleaning. Interior painting–floors and walls. The Fall session starts in the shiny interior on September 5th with a new coordinator.
Mural isn’t done yet on the Learning Center because it was just too hot for Cindy to work on it in August then she went back to work. She’s an art teacher in Mount Dora. But she’ll be back since she lives in Old Homosassa on the weekends.
Scallop season continues until September 24th.
Get out of the heat and get in shape at one of the yoga classes held in the Homosassa Civic Center. Tiffany Beck is now leading four classes a week. Monday evening from 5:30- 6:30 is a very slow relaxation and stretching yoga. Tuesday from 5:30 – 6:30, Wednesday 10 am – 11 am and Saturday 10 am – 11 am are regular yoga classes. All classes are $5.00 with a 50% discount for veterans. The classes are part of the adult program at the Old Homosassa Learning Center and will move over to that building as soon as the interior renovations are complete.
