Hail and Good Day to you,
It has been
a few long weeks since we have had time to sit and chat…by your smile, I would
say Santa must have brought you something special…me too…I got a new camera
that I am still learning to work…the two week break did wonders for the entire
crew…we all came back recharged and ready to go…let me fill you in:
Nature’sPower and Energy has had to cut through much red tape to gain permission to run
turbidity tests from the Department of Environmental Protection…we have had to
get through SWFWMD and US Army Corps of Engineers…I am keeping the office of
energy for the state, the department of energy federal and the federal energy
regulatory commission all in the loop as well…the DEP will be sharing all
findings with Fish and Wildlife…We have obtained help through offices of: Danny
Burgess, Rick Scott, Adam Putnam, Rich Nugent, Pasco Score and the small
business development center…we have also found good professional community
through the East Pasco Network Group…the small unit will average generating $70
- $85 USD worth of energy monthly- if you have a hunt camp on the river, I need
to talk to you…
In American
Boudica we have been burning the midnight oil…we have started the children’s
series and hope to have it in store by April…there are also two new papers that
will be out around the end of March…We are also in process of setting up Bilton
in America, a small gallery tour of graphic and Painted work by our digital
media department
GirlyPirate Designs has been happening…not only new art and Boudica inventory but,
we have added a travel series…our partner Zazzle has found us new types of
product and this too has allowed us as artists to stretch and grow…we will soon
be opening a website- if you would like to be on the mailing list please let me
know…we are open to creating marketing…
School has
been fun…statistics has been a blast, Dr. Boris is great…going in I have to
admit I was intimidated but, the deeper we go the more I understand…the SPSS
program was not easy and my only advice is follow the book to the letter:)
At the
Sunshine Paddle, we met and surpassed all of our December goals…other than to
complete taxes, we took the month of January off and now it is time to get back
on the grind…the menu is back in place…Tuesday we will be paddling Crystal
River…we will be renting a yak from Crystal River Kayaks- really great people…I
will be making an appearance at the Pasco County Fair for the Friday night
Rodeo…Saturday we plan to paddle the Weeki Wachee…YEA…I love time on the water
In the
Circle we are soon to be blessed with Ostra…this is the renewal of love, life
and understanding…green and purple are the colors…it is good to try to learn
new things now…an ounce of education is a pound of cure…
I am
thinking on starting a global classroom…if I could teach you any three
subjects, what would they be??? I am trying to develop my curriculum…this will
be an online series set to enrich those looking to share in education…this will
be a multimedia class…
Have you said ‘thank you’ to those who help
you daily??? At times it is easy to take those around us for granted...it is
important to look at everyone in your life and the role they play in it…if you
are not thankful for them- why are they there??? Not preaching- just saying….
The gardens
are in shock from the sudden cold snap…I have such Florida dogs- if it is too
wet or too cold they aint going out…I have all taxes filed…I have been watching
craigslist.org looking for a car as the pimp mobile is getting ready to die…I
am looking for a video and web interns…Walter and I have taken up playing
tennis…we are not great but, have a lot of fun…
Well chica…as
you can see, life is really busy…we get from 6/15 – 6/30 off this year and
there is a bunch I want to get accomplished before then…I do not know if I can
but, I will give it my best shot…thank you for coming to hang out
Your Girly Pirate,
Dorraine
