Happy Day after Galentine’s Day!
Happy Friday!
And Happy Day Before the “Toga for the Tower” party.
Speaking of the tower. A group of volunteers installed some temporary lighting around the base of the Old Homosassa Water Tower.
I was not one of those volunteers. They had originally planned on CLIMBING the tower with rock climbing gear and installing the lights. Then when they actually got there and stood under the tower, they sad “nah, let’s get professionals”. They put the lights on the ground. We do have some smart people in our group!
Went to a Homosassa River Alliance meeting last night. Commissioner Ron Kitchen was the speaker. It was interesting. Citrus County will start charging $10 to use the county boat ramps. The commissioner was asked a lot of questions about that. And of course the parking issues. There was some discussion about Crumps Landing. Seems that the partners running that party place ask for forgiveness rather than permission. They cut a bunch of trees down which is a big NO in this part of the county.
The sidewalks continue along Yulee Drive. Some concrete has been poured. They are putting them together here and there rather than starting at one end and going to the other. I am assuming that there is a grand master plan.
And on reflection….
I’ve been trying to be laid back the last couple of weeks. Maybe even since the beginning of the New Year. Reassessing my life. Figuring out what I really want to do and don’t want to do.
Looking at my priorities.
And came to the conclusion, I still want to do all the things. And everything is number one priority.
And so I continue.
And one more thought for this Friday….
while I was waiting to greet the piano students from the school a man that I only see occasionally said to me, I don’t know if you are a loyal Democrat or a loyal Republican, but the Democrats are ruining the country…..
and whether I am a loyal Democrat or a loyal Republican, I don’t think that’s the way to start a conversation.
Let’s replace some words….I don’t know if you are a loyal dog lover or a loyal cat lover, but cats are giving the world of animals a bad name. Or. I don’t know if you are a loyal unicorn lover or a loyal dragon lover but unicorns are destroying the kingdom. How would a conversation started out like that continue?
I am a loyal American and I vote. In every election since I was 18 years old.
Be Kind. Volunteer to help your community. Be sensitive to other people’s opinions. Respect their view point. You don’t have to agree. Make your world a little tiny bit better.
That’s what I should have said to him. But I just stood there in stunned silence.
And now I have to go. Because I haven’t quite finished my toga for the party!
Have a great weekend!
