Went to the county boat ramp in Old Homosassa last Saturday. It’s tradition that we go there to watch the start of the annual Cobia tournament. Used to start at 7 am with the boats jamming the river and ready to have their numbers called so they could quickly get to their hot fishing spot.

This year the tournament was moved to Crump’s Landing. Which is directly on the other side of the river.

But they didn’t wait to start at 7 am. Most were already gone by that time.

There was still a line at the boat ramp, though.

There were actually two tournaments going on. So there were lots of boats in the water. And a deputy!

It had rained the entire night but everything was drying up pretty well by the afternoon. We had planned on having our drive in movie night at the Homosassa Civic Club. Started raining again about 4 pm so it was canceled. Can’t have it next weekend because that is the Fireworks Show and the following weekend is July 4th. Maybe we should have these movies after the rainy season!

The Old Homosassa Learning Center is opening back up on June 22nd. Everyone has to sign a waiver and we only 10 per session.

I haven’t heard when the Zumba teacher wants to start back up. I’ll let you know! Sewing will probably start towards the end of July.

Local Stuff

I actually have events to report!!!!

Homosassa Fireworks is on June 27th. Not canceled as of yet.

But the Cobia Tournament scheduled for this weekend is canceled due to inclement weather. Re-scheduled for next weekend (June 12th – 14th)

The first official Drive in/Walk in Movie will be at the Homosassa Civic Club on Saturday, June 6th at 8 pm. Rain date is next Saturday, June 13th.

The Shed, Monkey Bar, Old Mill, and Crump’s Landing are all open and ready to serve!

I don’t have a Rodent of the Week. But I do have a DONKEY!

Echo the Donkey lives with friends around the corner from us. They are moving. Very sad to see them go but they are getting to the age that going up and down stairs into their stilt home is a little too much. We will miss them. Bill, Ann, Karen, Daisy, and Echo.

Echo nipped me once. He looks so cute and innocent. I’m pretty careful when I pet him now!

DOG OF THE WEEK!

This is Tully.

Tully is almost one year old and quite the escape artist. He came to the Shed with his mom on her golf cart and immediately slipped out of his leash. A good Samaritan captured him. Tully actually pulled the guy right to the ground. After being leashed again, he jerked it out of his mom’s hand. I grabbed him by some loose skin and hung on until Mom got the collar back on. In the above and below pic he is not very happy with me!

Did I mention that Tully is a very BIG dog?

But he’s also a very sweet dog!

Our governor has decided that it’s safe to go out and enjoy your life. Have a fun but SAFE weekend!
