Indian Rocks Beach

January 20, 2016 by KTgreen

Went to visit a friend at Indian Rocks Beach last week. It was VERY COLD and windy. But I had my wooly hat, scarf, and mittens, so I was prepared.

Here’s the bridge we walked over from Angela’s place to get to the beach.

lunch — My friend, Angela, and me. We had some shrimp and beer. Sitting in the sun and out of the wind. Perfect!

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.

Big Holiday Weekend in Old Homosassa

December 21, 2015 by KTgreen

It’s been HOT here. Yeah, we’ve been running the AC. Up until this Friday when Winter suddenly made an appearance. Just briefly, but long enough to make it feel a bit Christmasy and to flip over to the heat setting on the heat pump. The chilly weather was perfect for all the holiday festivities. And I got to pull out my Christmas sweatshirt!

The fun all started with the Homosassa Civic Club’ Annual Christmas Party on Friday night. Turkey, ham, and potluck sidedishes. Yum.

The golf cart Christmas parade made a special stop to say hi. Didn’t get any snaps but I did get some fun shots of the gift exchange.

Big Holiday Weekend in Old Homosassa — Terry was emcee

Saturday afternoon the Homosassa Civic Club hosted the Children’s Christmas Outreach.

Special Guest, Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Santa and his wife were the main event but there were also hot dogs, lots of cookies and cupcakes, and crafts.

Then we moved on to Watsons Art Gallery Christmas party.

Next party….

The boat parade. Took lots of snaps but was using my iPhone. What was I thinking?

We had one more holiday event on Sunday but I’ll tell you about that tomorrow!
