Friday Meanderings

I went to the beach this week.

It was cold.  

But still wonderful.  Visited a friend. Walked on the beach.  Drank way too much chardonnay. Had another birthday celebration.  How lucky am I?

There’s still a few tickets left for the gala red-carpet premiere, “Homosassa Goes Hollywood”.  It’s going to be fun, fun, fun.  Seriously.  If you anywhere near Citrus County, you need to get your tickets ASAP!

If you are interested in helping out your community, we are looking for volunteers for the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival.  Money raised from the festival goes to support the community plus operating expenses for the Civic Club.   What do we do?  Scholarships for area students.  Outreach programs for kids.  In the future we hope to expand to a teen program, add a farmers market, and get some trash pick-up done.  But we need YOU to make all that happen.

Meeting with the County Commissioners regarding “Access to the River” is January 26th.  Need a big turnout in support of this plan.  All four community groups–Homosassa Civic Club, Homosassa River Alliance, Old Homosassa Heritage Council, and the Homosassa Guides Association–support the cause.   If you are interested in this important agenda, please attend this meeting.  

Manatee Festival in Crystal River is this weekend.   Along with the admission fee to the festival, you can go visit Three Sisters Springs on a bus for free.  There should be a plethora of manatees there. Cause, as I mentioned, its been cold!

No pics this week because I went to the beach and then after that it was all meetings, meetings, meetings.  Some good.  Some bad.  Jeeze.  Why can’t we all just get along????? 

I’m planning to have a great weekend.  How about you?

Happy 2016!

Day 7, January 1, 2015, Happy New Years!

We made it. 

A New Year!

Terry and me

It’s time to make resolutions.  Last year I had a few, if you want to check up on them, here’s my post from January 2, 2015.

And how did I do?

I wanted to take more and better photos so I joined a Project 365 photography group. I’m not sure if my photos are any better from the experience but I took a lot of them.  And I’m starting a new edition for 2016.  But this time I’m making my own rules.  I will try to post a photo a day.  But only if it’s a good photo that reflects a moment.  I’m not just taking a picture of my wine glass or Maggie and throwing that up there because I made a commitment.  (Well, you’ll still probably get pics of Maggie cause she’s so cute) Or maybe I’ll post two photos for the day…or three…or none. The most difficult part of the 2015 version was getting the photos posted every day.  Didn’t happen. Won’t happen in 2016, either.  

One of my resolutions for last year was to play the piano, banjo, or ukulele more often and get over my fear of performing in front of people.  I’m in two jam groups now and can get through a piece (slowly) on my happy banjo without losing control of my fingers. That’s a huge step.  Still have to work on it but I have hope!

I also resolved to read more books last year.  My reading was sporadic–mostly on long driving trips.  I will do better this year.

I really don’t have any new goals for 2016.  Just to continue enjoying life and truly appreciating the people and places around me. I really have so much to be thankful for.

Have a great year!

So cute! Or is just me that thinks that?
