Happy 2016!

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!

Maggie — So cute! Or is just me that thinks that?

Oh my gosh. So close to Christmas.

And my big birthday. Yes this is it. I’m going to be s-i-x-t-y in 22 days.

Scheesh.

But the good thing is that I’ve decided to celebrate EVERY DAY THIS MONTH! And no one I live with seems to have a problem with that!

Daughter Jessica is here for the weekend. And 10,000 friends and family are coming to my house this weekend. Truly. 10,000.

Going on a trip to Big Shoals Park next week with friends. (not all 10,000)

Yesterday we went to McCleod House Bistro in Inverness for very late lunch/very early dinner. Is there a word for that? LIke brunch. Linner. Lupper. Dunch? Celebration?

Stopped by the Old County Courthouse museum and the Valerie Theatre. Just wanted to show Jes how cool Inverness is. (She has promised to watch “Follow that Dream”.)

And OMG, there are seats in the Valerie Theatre!

And Mrs. Santa was out front singing her heart out!

Then we went to Fox Den Winery and visited our friends.

I LOVE that place.

And then we went home.

Here’s the crowd in front of the Valerie Theatre wishing me a happy birthday month!

Okay.

What’s going on?

Monday. Civic Club Meeting. American Legion is cooking us a dinner of hot dogs and hamburgers for the club at 6:00. Meeting at 7:00. If you don’t already belong to the Club, now is the time to join. $3.00. For an entire year. What a deal! And so much fun!

Wednesday. Old Homosassa Heritage Council at 5:30.

Thursday. Town Hall meeting with Commissioner Ron Kitchen at the Homosassa Library. 5:30 – 7:00, Homosassa River Alliance meeting at the Civic Club immediately after the town hall meeting.

December 15. Golf Cart meeting with the BOCC. Have NO idea what time it will be. I know, I know, the OHHC corresponding secretary sent out an email that it was at 2:00 but she has no idea what she is doing. Because everyday is her birthday. Everyone just needs to sit at the meeting the entire day and into the night. At the courthouse.

December 18. Homosassa Civic Club Christmas Party. We are having a Christmas gift exchange of something we don’t want. No animals allowed. Maggie, you are safe!

December 19. Party at Watsons Art Gallery. Cat Valentine will be entertaining. Homosassa River Christmas Boat Parade.

Sheesh. Is that it?

Have a GREAT weekend!

Today. Black Friday. Tomorrow. Local Saturday. Monday. Cyber Monday.

Who makes up these names????

I’m not a “shopper”. Yeah, I shop. But mostly from the comfort of my couch. And my short drive to Publix. And if I really need something, I’ll make the BIG drive to Brooksville/Spring Hill.

But if I want to get something unique and special, I turn to all of our “local” shops right here in Citrus County.

So let’s talk about “local”.

We have some really great shops in Citrus County. Not chains. Unique stores with unique items. Owned and operated by unique people.

And I want to showcase them through the month of December. Yeah, that’s like NEXT WEEK!

Starting on Tuesday I’ll be highlighting some of our local stores and restaurants in Homosassa. Then I’ll move out to other places in the county. Places that I enjoy and can happily recommend.

So what else is going on?

Homosassa residents met with the Citrus County engineers about turning Old Homosassa into a golf cart community last Friday. The meeting went well and the plan will be presented to the County Commissioners on December 15th. I don’t know the time yet but will post as soon as I get more info.

December 10th there is a town hall meeting at the Homosassa Library with Ron Kitchen, our commissioner. At the last town hall meeting way back on March 12, 2015, a list of the concerns of those attending was made. It’s been several months since we made that list. Hopefully that will be addressed in the meeting. One thing they didn’t do anything about was the “Great American Yard Sale” along 19 which was held the weekend of November 12-14. Wondering how many car accidents were caused by those yard sales.

And the sidewalks for Yulee drive? Now planned for 2018. Ridiculous.

Okay, what’s going on this weekend?

Missed the Yankeetown Seafood Festival last weekend because when we had planned on going, it rained! And rained, and rained. We’re hoping to make it to the Ozello Art Festival tomorrow.

Put these on your calendar…

December 10th, Town Hall Meeting

December 15th, BOCC meeting–Turning Old Homosassa into a Golf Cart Community will be on the agenda.

December 18th, Homosassa Civic Club Christmas Party.

December 19th, Christmas Boat Parade plus the Watson Gallery will be having their monthly party with Cat Valentine entertaining.

February 6, “Homosassa Goes Hollywood!” I’ll be reporting more about this at a later date, but when tickets go on sale. BUY THEM! Cause they are going to go like HOTCAKES!

Hmmmmm, is that it?

So much to do, so little time!!!!!
