Oh Jeeeeeeeze,

I really planned on posting at least three times this week.

Even took all the photos, had the posts in my head.

And then…..stuff happened.

STUFF ALWAYS HAPPENS! It happens to everyone. You know?

Some good stuff.

Some bad stuff.

And I’m not going into details because it’s MY stuff.

“Homosassa Goes Hollywood” is on SATURDAY! So excited.

Gotta say, DeeDee Pierce Wilcox is totally amazing. She works a full time job and pulled this entire gala together.

All I had to do is make a little movie. And do some shopping.

I’ve got the draft finished. Going to test it tomorrow. On the big screen. Woohoo! I’m going to Hollywood. Okay. Not really. But I am going to Inverness!

The tickets to the Red Carpet Premier have been sold out for a few weeks, but you can still attend the cocktail party at the Old Citrus County Courthouse in Inverness. For free. 5:30. Be there. I’ll buy you a drink. Seriously.

And we’re having a Silent Auction. You will not believe all the cool stuff that have been donated to this endeavor. So much TOTALLY COOL STUFF!

Okay. Besides the “Homosassa Goes Hollywood” major major event.

We went to a few meetings this week.

The really important one was the “Access to the River” committee. Our commissioner, Ron Kitchen, was there before the meeting even started. A politician early? What??? We didn’t even know he was coming. And Commissioner Kitchen listened and then gave us some advice as to how we should proceed.

Things are moving forward.

So what’s going on this weekend?

NOTHING except “HOMOSSASSA GOES HOLLYWOOD!”

Be there!

Have a great weekend!

I’m going to have a BUSY one!

Gasparilla Pirate Invasion

February 3, 2016 by KTgreen

Fun day Saturday! Been to the Gasparilla Parade numerous times, checked out the Gasparilla Art Festival more than once and ran the Gasparilla Long Distance Classic close to 20 times. (at least it seems like I have that many t-shirts)

But this was my FIRST Gasparilla Pirate Invasion.

Thanks to Darin and Kathryn who now live on Davis Island, they found the perfect spot for friends and family to join them for the water side of the party.

The View at 9:40.

And three hours later….

Lots of beads, beers, and boats between those two photos!

I very bravely squeezed my way through the throngs to stand on the seawall to get these shots. Very dangerous. Seriously, not only beads get thrown from those boats, but I witnessed a few beers flying through the air along with many water balloons. I asked the guys standing beside me to protect me from the missiles. They did a pretty good job, I only got pelted by cheap plastic jewelry.

Gasparilla Pirate Invasion — Beads! The bounty of Mardi Gras, Shrimpapalooza and Gasparilla!

Ye Mystic Krew, in the distance, canons smoking! — The “Jose Gasparilla” with Ye Mystic Krew in the distance, canons smoking and guns blasting!

Fun! Looking forward to next year!

Sheesh….

Where have I been?

Not that long ago I posted five days a week.

And this week all I posted was blah, blah, blah, blah….

And I have totally ignored my DIY website.

Sheesh….

Ready for my excuse???

I’ve been learning new software. Well, stuff I kind of knew and then decided to make the big step and upgrade and really learn it.

I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time but couldn’t justify the time or expense but I had the opportunity to work on an exciting new project and just bit the bullet.

And I gotta say, I can only sit so many hours a day in front of my computer(s). Or tablet. Or smarty-pants phone.

So I’ve been using those geeky hours to learn software and working on a really fun event.

But, I’ll be back.

Soon.

And after I use up my computer hours, I still get to have fun and I’m wondering…

What’s going on this weekend?

I don’t even know! I haven’t read anything in the Chronicle about stuff going on. And it’s going to be a lovely weekend. The Rain and the Cold is OVER! Well, for this weekend at least.

The Greens are going to the Gasparilla Pirate Invasion tomorrow! ( I’m not missing any fun social events just to learn software!) One of our kids lives on Davis Island and he’s invited us to an Invasion Party! Arrrrrrgh! There will be photos next week!

Arrrrrrrrgh!

Hope you have a great weekend, too!
