Life in Homosassa, Florida
Friday Meanderings
I know you are waiting impatiently for the results of the Homosassa Civic Club elections.
TERRY WON! UNANIMOUS!
Of course, nobody was running against him!
Although before the meeting we believed that there would be at least one other candidate nominated from the floor.
Nope.
Terry won!
Mr. President!
And Dennis Seibert won the treasurer spot. Bill Perko returns as director.
Good news all the way around!
That was Monday night. Wednesday night we had a meeting about RESTORING THE HOMOSASSA RIVER!
We had the leader and reps from “Save Crystal River” to give us advice. Howard Miller from Gator Dredging that is running the project on Kings Bay was there to speak. Chris Anas (can’t actually spell his name) from SWFMD was present along with Senator Simpson. In addition Jeff Rogers and Randy Oliver from the county were there. It was a GOOD meeting.
Senator Simpson said he is pushing for buckets of money to replace our worn out septic tanks and saving our springs.
ABOUT TIME!
Okay. I’m writing this on Thursday evening at 6 pm. Off to another meeting with the “Save the Homosassa River Alliance” in a few minutes. We will be discussing last night’s meeting.
HOPE!
So what’s going on here in Homosassa?
It will be cold this weekend so there will be a few thousand manatees in the springs. Just go to the Wildlife Park, pay the entrance, and go to the viewing station. A few thousand. Terry and I will be there on Saturday afternoon.
Next Friday, the 16th, is the CHRISTMAS GOLF CART PARADE! We will be there with our new golf cart!
The 17th is the Christmas Outreach Program at the Civic Club. Kids and Santa. This is a REALLY COOL program. The Civic Club has a party for all the kids. With crafts, snacks and Santa hands out small gifts. The important stuff happens behind the back door at the club. We hand out gifts to the parents to put under the tree from Santa.
That night is the CHRISTMAS BOAT PARADE! Go stand at the Shed. Perfect view of the parade.
If you check out Project 365 right here, I’m trying to catch up.
Suddenly my Internet blog problems seem to be gone! Not trusting it just yet. Maybe some of my issues were the changeover from Brighthouse to Spectrum. Sure I’ll never find out. I haven’t added all my “plugins” back but happy things are working again!
Have a great weekend!

Monday Musings
Missed Friday Meanderings. Decided to put up Cookie Day Pics instead.
Still having issues with the website. But it is limping along.
I’m not starting a regular Monday Musings. Just thought it was appropriate on this post.
Today is Maggie’s 17th birthday. Happy Birthday Poochie Pie! Still walking every morning and sometimes running!
If you are my FB friend, you know I’ve been in Mt. Dora with a bunch of Old Homosassa buds. We started planning this trip way back last summer. I was delighted to be included.
Here’s the bunch of us….
From left to right we have me, ruth, michelle, connie, sue, melinda and rosey.
And I’m thinking about how we all met up.
Connie and Rosey I’ve know for several years just cause we hang out in the same places in Old Homosassa. Ruth lost her husband a few years ago and recently started volunteering in our community groups and I met her at one of the community parties. Sue I just met this summer–at the same party. She moved in permanently last week but has been a weekend home owner for many years. Michelle is part of the group bringing down the CR nuclear power plant and a neighbor along with her wife Renee that couldn’t make the trip. Melinda moved here six years ago from Mt. Dora when her mom and dad that already lived here wanted her to move to be closer because dad was on his last days. Dad is still with us, as is Melinda. Met her in the past year, too.
A very eclectic group brought together just because we live in Old Homosassa. And we all like to have fun. Oh, one more constant, we all go to the Old Mill Tavern!
Very cool.
I’ve recently been into making selfie group shots. Not just that one above and the cookie day happy people. I’ve known a lot of these women for over 25 years.
Here’s Thanksgiving with the family.
The annual family cornhole tournament. Winners were Darin and Justin!
And breakfast, just because it was breakfast with the fam!
Oh. And here’s Jes and me.
Yes. She has tiny hands. That’s why I never had her get piano lessons.
Okay. Where am I going with all this? I think I had a message that I was going to put here when I first started writing this but now I’m clueless.
Oh wait. I remember. It’s that in all these photos, I have friends and family. New friends, old friends, and family. And. All important in so many ways to me. I am so thankful to having all of you.
Especially thankful to my husband who also loves all the friends and family and pushes me to do more and inspires me with his leadership in the community.
I’m going to keep on posting when I get a chance. And continue meandering about nothing in particular on Fridays. And putting up photos on Project 365 when I actually take a photo and the website will let me post.
Oh wait! There’s more!
I have a lot of stuff going on. Headed to North Dakota in a few weeks so I can take part in the protests. Just kidding. Going there to celebrate Daughter-In-Law Lauri’s 40th birthday. (By the way Jes and daughter-in-law Karen are having their 40th bdays this year, too. Hope I get invited to their BIG BIRTHDAY PARTIES!)
There’s a holiday in there, too.
And I’m taking office in January. Very excited about all that. I’m the HONORABLE KATHY GREEN now. I have to pay my $10 to the state to actually make that official! Just got the bill this weekend. Is that too funny?
And it’s Monday and we have a BIG vote at the Homosassa Civic Club and I hope everyone reading this that is a member makes it to the meeting.
And I hope to continue making new friends, hanging with the old friends, and spending special moments with the family.
