Out and About – Page 14

It’s Friday already! It’s been a busy week. Which is okay ’cause I like busy.

To all my “friends” on Facebook, I was asked to make a page for the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival. I’m not a FB expert and sometimes it perplexes me, but I did it. So I invited all of my local friends. Local as in Citrus and Hernando counties. And if you didn’t get an invite and you live local, then you’re not my FB friend. What’s up with that?

Speaking of the Festival, we are making all kinds of strides forward. Almost everyone in a leadership position is new but all of the former chair people are hanging in as mentors and helping us out. We are learning, learning, learning. I’m not anything, just a worker bee. Oh yeah, and I do all the webstuff. So if you have any comments about the website, www.homosassaseafoodfestival.org, or the Facebook page, let me know. I’m open to positive suggestions. Don’t give me any of that negative stuff!

Speaking of web stuff, I’m putting all of my DIY over on my other site. I know you miss learning about easy peasy pillows and totes. Still running the giveaway. So far, I’ve put these two bags and tutorials up….

And here’s a sneak peak at the fabric I’m using for the tote for this coming Tuesday!

You KNOW you want that tote! (Michelle)

And you can WIN it! Enter the giveaway by commenting on Tuesday’s post and you are in on the totally random raffle! Although I gotta say there is one person (and only one) that has commented every week. She’ll win for persistence if nothing else!

So what’s going on this week????

We are attending the Save Our Water Week dinner tomorrow night. Haven’t done this before. Not sure if I can walk in something other than flip-flops on my feet but I’m looking forward to dressing up. Almost like wearing a Halloween costume. (I’ll have my flip-flops tucked into my tote, for sure)

There will be a bunch of water-related activities in Citrus County next week. I’m hoping to go to one or two. And I’ll be bringing my water-proof camera so you’ll get to see some pics! Almost like you’re there. Well, if you actually want to be there, go to Citrus 20/20, check it out and make reservations.

Saturday is the Homosassa River Raft Race. The Old Homosassa Heritage Council will have a booth at MacRae’s. Come on out and get your t-shirt and a raffle ticket for your chance to win a golf cart. Woo-Hoo! All the donations go to restoring the Old Homosassa Water Tower.

Sarasota Slim is playing at 3 pm. Definitely the best band that comes to MacRae’s.

Wow! So much going on!

And here’s your pic of the week of our soon to be newly-weds! How cute are they? OMG! Looking forward to the wedding! FIVE WEEKS!

Have a great weekend!

After visiting the Valerie Theatre for the 9/11 tribute on Friday, we had some time before meeting friends that evening. We took a little stroll through downtown Inverness, stopped at the new location of La-Te-Da, and then noticed the Fox Den Winery & Cellar a few doors up the street. So we checked it out.

Terry and I were pleasantly surprised!

Robert and Yong Madys, owners of Fox Den Winery & Cellar

Yong Madys, one of the owners, recommended a chardonnay and while we enjoyed our wine, we talked with her and the other patrons. Everyone was very friendly and there was a laid-back atmosphere.

The decor is beautiful with many special touches.
