Do you remember playing with your mother’s button box, jar or tin? Have you ever wondered how old buttons are and how many centuries they existed before they were useful? Can you guess why they were banned or why there was a button war?

Button collectors consider buttons miniature works of art. They enjoy them for their pretty faces, shapes and designs. But the history that comes along with these practical little items is a fascinating part of collecting, too.

Button collecting got its start during the Great Depression because it was a hobby that just about anybody could afford during those lean times. Collections could be started with finds at home in their own saved button jars and tins.

The Hernando County Button Collectors Group and the Hernando County Library System invites you to celebrate National Button Day with them at a presentation at the Spring Hill Branch Library at 9220 Spring Hill Drive on Friday, November 20 at 10:30 a.m. Sylvia Durell will present on the history of buttons and the hobby of button collecting. The 50-minute talk will finish with Anne Buckingham showing a variety of buttons and discussing the materials from which they are made. The library will also feature a display on button collecting in its lobby.

No reservation needed — first come, first seated. For more information, call (352) 400-2369, email holeybuttons@gmail.com or visit www.holeybuttons.com.

Yes, on August 29th Great Life Church, a young and fast growing Church purchased the former Elks Lodge on Cortez Blvd, just west of the Suncoast Parkway on the south side of Cortez.  Under the leadership of Pastors Steve & Ellen Bilsborough, Great Life Church has grown from just 5 people to hundreds in just 3 short years.

Capacity crowds forced the move for more growth from the previous building where Fire Marshalls limited the crowd, so faced with no options, Great Life Church began to pray and pursue a larger more visible Church home.

Already they are filling up the new building, hundreds worship every week at their Sunday 10:30 am service and their Wednesday night services as well.

Great Life Church is a vibrant, Spirit Filled, Non Denominational Church where the preaching is life changing, the Praise and Worship moves people to another dimension in the anointing.  With full Childrens and nursery programs during every service, you can come and experience all that God is doing.  For further information, visit the ministry website or call the office at (352) 293-7673

Hope to see you this Sunday or Wednesday

Sometimes, just watching others around you is the best free entertainment there is, and sometimes you catch someone doing something that really captures your attention.  This was the case earlier this month with me.  I was chatting with my oldest daughter, one day, and we decided to have a family picnic/get-together at Rogers Park off of Shoal Line Rd.  We decided to each bring some family favorite foods, like homeade potoato salad, and fried chicken. The date came, and we met up, each bringing our designated item, and coolers. We all unpacked, everyone grabbed a plate, and we all dug in.  The food was delicious!  I actually had never been there before, although we'd driven by it zillions of times (funny how that happens). I took my camera, and decide to walk around a bit and explore, because you never know what you might see.  :)  I watched couples paddling by in their canoes. I watched kids, and adults playing in the water. I watched cooks grilling lunch for their clans.  I watched people across the water at "The Upper Deck" watching me.   :)   Then I spotted him....the fearless youngman, poised on the branch, high up in the tree.  I did notice a group of kids swimming to the other side of the river just a bit earlier, but didn't hink much of it...now I knew why they did.  I decided this was a "kodak moment", and waited.  It was only moments before he took the leap.  I prayed for his safey (and hoped it was deep enough for the young daredevil)  as he splashed into the water below.  The jumper sufaced and immediently looked at his forearm, and rubbed it.  That seemed to be his only souvenior wound...thank God!!  The stunt reminded me of my youth, and some of the stupid things I tried, and survived....I think we all have.  We all enjoyed our day at a local swimming hole, watching people just having fun...hopefully we we won't witness someone taking such a big risk next time.

At the risk of being called a gun nut, I will continue with this blog. Every Wednesday The All American Trap & Skeet Club meet up with the Heritage Pines Sportsman's Club for a couple rounds. We shoot at Silver Dollar Shooters Club in Odessa, Fl.  Some members shoot trap and some shoot skeet. It is a great day of enjoyment topped off at one of the restaurants on our way back home for a lunch and of course a little friendly teasing. Cost is about the same as a round of golf and a lot more fun. If you are interested in joining us reply to this blog.
