Had a great Thanksgiving….
Decided to continue the gluttony through Monday.
Might as well……
Bits and Pieces
Friday Meanderings
Went to a Town Hall Meeting.
And it was great.
Does anyone ever say that about anything political?????
County Commissioner Ron Kitchen called the meeting. This is the third one he has held. And we’ve been to all three.
We’ve also been to two or three County Commission meetings. Plus did a presentation at the TDC (Tourist Development Committee) which he is the head of.
Oh…..I should add that Ron Kitchen has come to at least two of our “Access to the River” meetings.
I am so impressed with Commissioner Kitchen. I might not agree with everything he says but he listens to us and treats EVERY question with respect. I’ve emailed him a few times and he has always answered.
He starts his meetings on time and ends them exactly at that ending minute. I LOVE THAT!
Weird. Right? This is politics!!!!!!
It was a great great meeting.
We are going to the Suitcase Party tonight. That is going to be so much fun. We’ve got a designated driver. Okay. We liked him a lot before we found out that he doesn’t drink!
But now he’s got bonus points!
All the money goes to the Boys and Girls Club of Citrus County.
There might be photos on Monday.
Or maybe not. Depends on how much fun everyone has!
Have a great weekend!

Friday Meanderings
It’s been a strange year for my garden. Almost all of my butterfly plants have died from the surge of salt water during Hurricane Hermine. Today I noticed that the shrimp plants were dead and a large pink salvia that I’ve had for several years is slowly withering away. All the cosmos are just about gone and they are in a spot that didn’t get flooded. I planted them many years ago. Never feed or watered them but they’ve always thrived.
But the roses, alamandas, and plumerias are all bursting with blooms. These plants spent several hours in that same flood water. And what’s really weird is that the St. Augustine grass is thick and green and thriving.
So Hurricane Matthew will be here today. Since this one is on the other coast, we have the opposite issue with the canal. The water is very low. We are supposed to get a lot of wind. Yesterday we went to Sam’s Club and it was crazy. Seems everyone was stocking up before the storm. Or maybe they were evacuating. Guess they learned their lesson from Hermine!
This is what is on my calendar!
Scarecrow Festival in Heritage Village in Crystal River on Saturday, October 8th. Wondering if that will be cancelled???
Citrus County Commissioner Ron Kitchen will be holding another town hall meeting on Thursday, October 13 at the Homosassa library from 5:30 – 7. We’ll be there. These meetings are always interesting.
The Suitcase Party to benefit the Boys and Girls Club is Friday, October 14th. Better get my tickets! We haven’t been to this event before but have heard great things.
Refuge Day is a chance to see Three Sisters Springs for free!
The 42nd Annual Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival is November 12th and 13th. Terry and I, along with many more volunteers, have been working overtime on getting this setup. I’ve spent most of this week updating the website. Last week it was working on the graphic design for the t-shirts. And before that it was getting the advertising at the radio stations and newspapers. My blogs have suffered from my inattention. But it will be here in a little more than a month and I will get back to my normal life!
Oh yeah, and trying to figure out all the rules for running for office, getting signs and business cards, etc. etc. etc. That will be over soon, too. Yippee!
Have a great weekend!
