Life in Homosassa, Florida
Terry and I actually got out and about and I have something to post about!
The 17th Luminary Art Walk of Old Homosassa!
We started out at Watsons Art Gallery which was having a GRAND REOPENING! Glad they are back, I missed them!
A great evening in Old Homosassa.
Happy Friday!
Not much new here. Still working on the transition of the Learning Center. Weren’t in the newspaper this week–again! Calmness.
This week is always busy busy busy with meetings. And they were good. And over.
The learning center is offering guitar lessons to the kids at the Homosassa Elementary School. Have a great volunteer who has played guitar his whole life. Started out with four kids. Then it moved to six. Got an email that there are two more that are begging to join the group. The instructor said that he can’t give personal lessons to more than six. Hate to tell those two kids no. Cause I’m all about YES. So pondering the situation.
That’s our new unofficial slogan at the Civic Club. We are the party of YES!
We are still working on putting a sewing class together for adults.
Things are coming together.
Oh, and the details that I promised last week! The Homosassa Civic Club is holding an “Old Homosassa Community Day” on March 11. First ever. The Old Homosassa Heritage Council is having a yard sale in the Civic Center. Accepting donations on March 10. (No clothes, sorry. Powers above me made that decision.) All the proceeds go to painting the Old Homosassa Water Tower.
We’ve invited all of our community groups to put up info booths. There will be an open mic on the stage, food and drinks. Open house at the Learning Center. The office was flooded during Hurricane Hermine and the renovation should be complete by the community day. Looking forward to showing off our new campus!
So what else is going on?
This Saturday is the last free day at Three Sisters Springs. Looking forward to seeing the improvements! You can park at one of the local shopping centers and walk in rather than waiting for the bus.
Shrimpapalooza is on March 18. This is a fun day put on by the Homosassa Rotary Club. I’ve always wanted to be in the golf cart parade and this year WE HAVE A GOLF CART!
By the way, I’m on Instragram now. I’m trying to remember to put my snaps up there. Not into the habit yet. My name is designktg if you want to check out my photos.
Okay.
That’s it for now!
Have a great weekend!

It’s Friday.
And neither Terry nor I nor the Homosassa Civic Club nor the Homosassa Learning Center made it into the Citrus Chronicle!
Whoo-Hoo!
(But waiting for the next shoe to drop!)
And I really don’t have much to say. And NO photos.
I thought I’d get some photos but….no.
Didn’t happen.
Been spending most of my time at the Homosassa Learning Center. Cleaning up. Moving things around. Making plans. Tutoring.
Along with a whole lot of other volunteers. It’s amazing how many local people are ready to step up!
We have so many plans for the learning center.
Four guitars were donated last year. We have a volunteer that is willing to teach kids how to play the guitar.
How cool is that?
If you have any instruments that are just hanging in closets or under the bed, we would love you to give them to us. We have four guitars right now.
As soon as we get four kids to sign up–free classes. Free guitars to practice on.
How cool is that?
Another volunteer has suggested a sewing class and is ready to start teaching. And we have already had one person donate a completely unused sewing machine that’s still in the box that was never opened! (It could be from 1950 but it’s still in the box! Could be a very valuable antique!)
How cool is that?
Another local that has a restaurant has suggested a cooking class.
How cool is that?
And we haven’t even scratched the surface!
We are here. And we are making so many changes for the better!
I’ll have details next week! Put March 11th on your calendar. Cause you are going to want to be in Old Homosassa that day! Seriously. details. details. next week!
And maybe photos!
Have a great weekend and enjoy all that sunshine!
