And just like that, it’s Labor Day weekend.
Have to put my white pants away.
Have to make sure we have water, gas, beer, food.
Cause, just like that, we have a hurricane on the way. (I should have stayed a couple more weeks in North Dakota!!!!)
Cause, it’s Labor Day and that’s one of our traditions in the state of Florida.
Rumor has it, our local gas stations are out of gasoline and at the grocery store the shelves of water are bare.
That’s probably not quite true because rumors seem to take on a life of their own. During Hurricane Irma when our governor suggested that the entire state evacuate, the stores and gas stations were very quickly emptied as the hoards from the southern counties fled. And the same story went out. No food. No gas. No water. Have to say, Publix was quick to deliver and refill the shelves in our little local store. And gas was eventually available. But living here for most of my adult life, I’m smart enough to keep our vehicles on full and water comes out of our faucets!!!!! As long as I have lived here in Old Homosassa, we have not lost our water supply. Could happen. (But I know the people that run the water district. Not happening!) Just in case, I just fill every container we have and stick it in the freezer. Now, if we run out of beer that could be an issue!
On to another subject….
The Old Homosassa Learning Center is scheduled to start its after-school enrichment program next week. Art on Mondays, Ukulele and Guitar on Wednesdays and Piano on Thursdays. All sessions are full! And we have great volunteers. Tutoring is also available on request. All thanks to great people in our community! And we keep it free thanks to all of our friends that go to the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival!
Here’s a pic from yesterday!
Where ever you are this holiday weekend, stay safe!
