is Growing Sooooooo BIG!
Here it is July and our wonderful century plant just keeps getting bigger and bigger! We have been told that it will probably be toward the end of July before the bloom completely matures. We all have watched over it and will be sorry to see the end come for it. The great news is that it will live on and on when the stalk is turned into a musical instrument known as the didgeridoo. I must say that we have learned so very much from our friend, the century plant. Thank you "CP" for giving us all these memories.

School is out and summer has officially started for most of us. Try to think back to when you were a kid and want you loved most about summer. Was it sleeping in? Playing outside all day? Vacation with the family? Try your best to recreate at least one of these events this summer with your family. These are the memories that last and hopefully will be carried on by your children. I remember lots of camping trips during the summer, grilling outside and of course sleeping in. Summer camps and VBS were also on the schedule! I hope that Alexis is able to enjoy each of these as she grows up. So let's start out the summer with committing to our families that we will take a few hours each week to "enjoy" summer with them. Will you take the challenge? Where will you begin? Ice cream, on the patio after dinner ? Catching fireflies? Sleeping in on Saturday? Or maybe, and we hope you pick this one...Tuesday playdates at SuGaBuG Kids surrounded by new friends, making new memories. See ya'll there!

We want to congratulate Barbara Thompson from Crystal River - Our June winner of a $100.00 gift certificate - Don't forgot to register for the drawing this month.

We want to remind everyone that Thursday Night is Steak Night - 16oz. T-Bone, Baked Potato & Salad for $14.99 - Wednesday - Saturday is 2 for 1 Beer and House Wine from 5-7pm. So stop on by and enjoy a night out!

We will be closing within a few days. Don Mayo has been in the critical cardiac unit at Citrus Memorial, with his heart rate dropping to 27. He now has a double chamber pacemaker and doing well. His wife, Sue, will soon have a hip replacement along with other surgeries from the severe car accident several years ago. Just to make things more complicated, we have a sinkhole at our home and will have to be out of the house for 2-3 months.

 

Needless to say, it is unfortunate for the closing of the MAYO GALLERY, but with other priorities going on we felt it best and then to reopen at a later date when we can further serve our customers.

 

Our telephone number will remain the same, 352-795-DUCK (3825). Please feel free to call us anytime and we thank you for your patronage.

 

Thank you, Citrus County for voting us "Best of the Best." Stop in during August or September and show your Florida driver's license for your FREE "thank you" gift. THANKS AGAIN.
