APRIL 29, THRU MAY 5, (ETC.) 2016 IN KEY WEST WITH LYNDA!!!!

HAPPY APRIL 29 BIRTHDAY TO…SCOTT FUHRIMAN…MATT HULSEY…DIANA DAVIS …JON STEIN…

TED WATSON PASSES AWAY, APRIL 19…..

As we prepared to leave Ohio to return to Key West on Wednesday morning, you can imagine how terribly sad it was to receive yet some additional news on the passing of a very special man, who also happens to be a very dear friend. We got the upsetting news of the death of Ted Watson, the beloved father of Mark Watson, on April 19th. It was unexpected and sudden and only 3 days before his birthday on April 22. As fate would have it, Ted will be laid to rest on that day. Ted and his wife, Hilda, are a marvelous couple and their’s was truly a marriage made in heaven. They adored one another and their children Mark and Lori. We have known them for years and we love them very much. Our hearts ache for Hilda and Mark, and all in the family. You can send cards and messages to them at: Hilda Watson….PO Box 126…Toast, NC 27049. Mark Watson…821 Windsor Ln.….Key West, FL 33040. To read the obituary of Ted Watson please go to www.moodyfuneralservices.com. You can also find how memorials and tributes can be made in Ted’s honor.

BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY LISTS….If you would like to be included in the Birthday and Anniversary Lists that I send out every month, please let me know your month and day by sending that info to me at kwlynda@bellsouth.net. There are special perks to being on the lists!!!!

PRAYER CHAIN…..Please continue to remember the following in your thoughts and prayers… … Walter Lepperd…..Hilda and Mark Watson and their family & friends on the passing of Ted Watson… the friends and family of Dennis Stevens……the friends and family of Tom Oosterhoudt, especially his mother, MaryAnn Worth….Howard & Inez Casey ….Ed and Shirley Block …Donna Barnett…. …..Lenny Stevens …..Robin Deck… Carol MacCartee…Paul Gildea …Eric Weinberger… Rennetta Stevens ….Basia Chaplin…. Richard and Betty Carraway …the Jim and Dan and the friends and family of Frank Argoudelis …David Herndon …Noreen Gavin… …Genevieve Isaksen …Anne McKee…Kathy Melendy … Ron Burns …..Teresa Lawson … Zita DuPel …. Tony Martinez …Brian Martinez and family …. Star Husky…. Jennifer Badry … Ron Maranian ……Boomer Crue …Marec Yooree …Virgil and Nancy Williams …Pamella C. Bocdow. …Dee Dee Duecker … Karla Muir … Vincent Gregory …Dawn Jones …Tony Freese… Alan Ferguson … Jennifer O’Lear …Margaret Taylor … Roland Ryper …Patrick Richards. Remember, there are many reasons that we pray…not just for those who are ill…. I do believe that when we all send prayers and good vibes to those in need, those prayers mystically meet and surround those being prayed for. Sometimes we pray for miracles and the impossible….sometimes we pray to just cope with the results of what happens to those we are praying for. Sometimes we pray for strength to go on and to accept…sometimes we pray for thanksgiving. We are in this thing called ‘Life’ together….and we all have power within us to help our fellow man. Bless you for remembering our loved ones….Prayer changes things! Let me know if you know of anyone who should be added to this LIST.

HUGH’S VIEW AT THE STUDIOS…..Over $300,000 has been raised for this project… but more is needed to make this dream a reality! Make donations to TSKW and indicate your donation is specifically for HUGH’S VIEW, and send to Jeffrey Ware at 1400 Olivia St., KW, 33040. This is a separate fundraiser from any others at The Studio. The plan is to create a lovely Rooftop Garden atop the new Studios Bldg on Eaton St…..it will provide a marvelous panoramic view of Key West…and since La Concha shut its doors to us, it will be most welcome indeed. For more info, contact Jeffrey at jcwkeywest@comcast.net. For those who are wondering who Hugh is…. He is the most adorable father of Jeffrey, who left his mark in Key West….who loved it here, and who passed away….from this earthly home but not from our hearts! Hoping to raise enough money so that by the end of 2015, Hugh’s View will be a Truism…. And that we can all gather together, lift our glasses from atop the Garden and toast HUGH’S VIEW!!!!!

*** THE TAURUS PERSONALITY….APRIL 21 THROUGH MAY 21…..***

People know they can trust a Taurus, for they are reliable, faithful, practical, and people to turn to in a crisis. They can be counted on! Although they are steadfast, they are also very resistant to the idea of change. It makes them feel nervous…as if everything is going to collapse around them! Taureans always take a long time to get used to any major alterations in their life, and they they can feel dislocated by change. As a result, they tend to slip into routines that quickly become ruts, as they would rather know what each day will bring, even though it is boring or tedious…than risk getting upset when their regular schedule is disturbed.

Taureans take things slow….preferring to do things in their own time and in their own way, and often turn a deaf ear to anyone who may try to persuade them otherwise. They have tremendous determination and will power but this can turn into that stubborn streak that Taureans are famous for. Nothing will change their mind; people can go blue in the face trying to reason with them, but they just won’t listen!

Taureans do need their sense of self-worth and they associate their possessions as status symbols. The problem with this, is that they often become hemmed in by their possessions as they start to rule their lives. Letting go and simplifying is not an easy task for a Taurean!

The Taurus is the one least likely to lose their temper over trifles. They grit their teeth and give others the benefit of the doubt over and over again…until things go TOO far, and then they blow their top! This is a frightening experience for everyone around when this happens….so look out!

Family means the world to a Taurean and they devote lots of time to their nearest and dearest. They enjoy keeping up long standing traditions especially at the holidays. They are loyal, loving and steadfast, which endears them to anyone who likes to know that their affection won’t be tossed away. They make adoring friends and they usually have a select circle of very close friends that they have know for a long time rather than a wide range of acquaintances. It takes a Taurean quite some time to get to know people properly and others have to earn a Taurean’s trust…but once they’ve done that, the Taurean becomes the sort of pal who will stand by them through thick and thin. This love and affection sometimes turns into a tendency to be possessive however. The best signs for a Taurus are Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces.

In careers, the Taurean loves to work and are good solid members of any team…they get the job done. They may not do it very quickly as others but they keep at it and don’t cut corners. They are not interested in self-employment, but if they do decide to work for themselves that will try their hardest to make a go of it. They are attracted to work in finance, banking, and investments. Also, the beauty industry appeals to them as they are one of the best looking signs of the Zodiac, They make great models, masseurs, perfumiers. They love professions connected with nature, farming, gardening or floristry. Because many are blessed with lovely voices, they are drawn to the music industry and singing, particularly.
