Marker 48 Brewing

January 11, 2016 by KTgreen

Thanks to my niece Michelle, her husband Jon, and son William, we’ve been introduced to a new fun place that’s only about half an hour away.

Marker 48 Brewing

Just head south on US-19 and hang a left on Highway 50. The brewery is in the area of Highpoint.

Although I drink a bunch of beer and every different kind, I really don’t know one from the other, so I’m just going to post a ton of photos from our visit.

Fortunately for us, Terry doesn’t like beer so we could have fun and he could safely drive us!

Jes liked it. Could my daughter be old enough to drink beer? — Jes liked it. Hey, wait a minute, could my daughter be old enough to drink beer?

Marker 48 Brewing — The bar. It’s got a chilled panel down the center. So your beer won’t get warm while you take snaps of it for FB.

See? I think Andrew's doing FB or instagram of that beer! — See? Andrew’s doing FB or instagram of that beer!

dogs — The place is dog-friendly. Several pooches came through while we were there.

There's an outdoor area for you to enjoy your brew. Or play with your dog. It was REALLY hot out there so we stayed inside and enjoyed the cool AC. — There’s an outdoor area for you to enjoy your brew. Or play with your dog. It was REALLY hot out there so we stayed inside and enjoyed the cool AC.

This little one wants to come in and bask in the AC, too. — This little one wants to come in and bask in the coolness, too.

Christmas in Perfect — Michelle, she doesn’t usually drink beer but she found a brew that was very yummy.

the whole gang — The whole gang. Eating. They don’t serve food but you are welcome to buy some from the BBQ trailer right outside the door or order pizza from a local place. Which is what we did. Somehow I didn’t get a photo of William, but that’s his back. The place is not only dog-friendly, but kid-friendly, too!

toilet — One last photo. Yes, they also recycle.

Friday Meanderings

January 8, 2016 by KTgreen

Oh Jeeze Louize.

It’s already Friday.

I’ve been kind of stuck in my dark office and the week has flown by. Working on stuff. Good stuff.

If you haven’t got your tickets for the “Homosassa Goes Hollywood”, it’s not too late!

This is going to be so much fun. Cocktail Party. Silent Auction. Papparazzi. My super-duper video presentation. Oh yeah, and the movie “Crosswinds” that was filmed right here in Old Homosassa way back in 1951. I was not born yet but I’m pretty sure that Terry was maybe 4. He probably didn’t make the first Red Carpet Premier! But we’ll be there for this one!

(Can’t believe that “An American in Paris” won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1951.)

So what else is going on? How about those golf carts sharing the roads in Old Homosassa. Surprise to me, but some people are not happy about this big event. Like “what’s going to happen if I get t-boned by a golf cart?” Hmmmmm. Don’t have an answer to that one.

Golf carts have been here since we moved to Homosassa almost 13 years ago. Several months ago an overly-ambitious deputy decided to give warnings to golf cart drivers that they weren’t legal. Which prompted local residents to start a petition drive which led to a safety study by the county which led to the approval of the golf carts sharing the road by the county commissioners. Democracy in action. This effort took MONTHS! It was in the paper numerous times. And now we are hearing that there’s a whole lot of people that aren’t happy about it.

We don’t have a golf cart. But we supported the effort. Time to move on.

Terry Green, Secretary of the Homosassa Civic Club, Recent Retiree, and my Husband is the new Chairperson of the Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival. Jeeze Louize. Retirement is supposed to be easy.

Hope you have a great weekend!
