OUR LAST HURRAH AT ROSE COTTAGE!!!!
Thursday, October 4, 2018
OCTOBER 5, THRU OCTOBER 11 (ETC.), 2018 IN KEY WEST WITH LYNDA!!!
HAPPY OCT.5 BIRTHDAY TO….JEFF CLARK … JOHN ISAKSEN… JOEL NELSON … BLAYNE THOMPSON
DEAR READERS…Seems we arrived at Rose Cottage but a few weeks ago … and it is now time to close up and return to Key West! We have had a wonderful nearly four months here at our Vacation Home in Chippewa Lake, Ohio! The leaves are ‘just’ starting to change colors… though it is unseasonably warm… will be in the 80’s most of next week. Full color won’t be happening for a few weeks. We look forward to a new exciting Season of Activity and Events in Key West, and especially getting to see all of our Key West Family! See you all soon!
“THE GOOD COP” ON NETFLIX,….The premier of this new show was SEPTEMBER 21….on NETFLIX…. Writer and Executive Producer of this show, HY CONRAD (he of Monk and White Collar fame) … (and also very special friend and Key West resident)… is excited about this new show that is getting LOTS of buzz! ALL ten episodes of the first season are available… and I encourage all to ‘BINGE WATCH’ the series… assuring that Netflix will renew the show quickly!!! THE GOOD COP is a new Dramedy… This show stars Tony Danza as a disgraced NY police officer who never followed ‘the rules’…. And Josh Groban as his son, Tony Jr., earnest and obsessively honest detective who makes a point to ALWAYS follow the rules. Father Tony, returns home to live with his son… and of course, they form a most unlikely team. THIS IS TRULY MUST SEE TV! To see a 2 minute trailer on THE GOOD COP, please go to…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqZxZ20NrNc. By the way…. Reader, Barbara McConagha emailed me to thank me for recommending this show…. She LOVED it!!!!
JIM HALL…SICK BAY….. Very dear friend, JIM HALL, recently endured an Ischemic stroke at his home in Virginia Beach. He is convalescing in the hospital and going through some therapy… and we are all behind him 150% and are hoping he will be all well and good as new before long. You can send Jim cards and messages of support to him at his home at 208 53rd St. Virginia Beach, VA 23451. You can email him at Dietcoke53@aol.com. You can text him at 757-285-7544. I KNOW he would love to hear from you, and I am a firm believer that people heal more quickly when they feel love and support from friends and family. Also… please keep caregiver, Billy Cartledge in your prayers and thoughts as he administers his special brand of TLC to his husband, Jim!!!! We love and miss them both.
*******PLEASE BECOME A MEMBER OF THE WATERFRONT PLAYHOUSE!!! Before long ‘the 2018-19 Season’ in KW will begin again. As a proud Board Member of the Waterfront Playhouse for 13 years, I am hoping that you will take the time to read the following. Our beloved Waterfront Playhouse had some major setbacks and challenges this past year. Hurricane Irma had a huge negative impact on the tourist populations coming to KW and dollars spent at the Theater. Major funding and grant challenges that we had counted on for years, were not there last season. But we persevered and presented yet another excellent Theater Season. In addition, we were confronted with the retirement of our wonderful artistic director of 17 years, Danny Weathers. The good news was that our new artistic director, Tom Thayer, was already employed by The WP as Business & Box Office Mgr. As fate would have it, Tom had run a Theater in Tennessee for 33 years, and he was able to seamlessly move into the AD spot. Of course that meant we needed a new Business Mgr., Box office Mgr…. and a Marketing Director. Then we lost our House Mgr. who also retired. At first it was a tad overwhelming, but we were able find quality people to assume each of those positions. Behind the scenes, we lost several key board members.. but after a search we have 9 fabulous new Board Members and we are thrilled! As you can see, we are on the threshold of new exciting beginnings. In spite of any past challenges, we all know that THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!! Theaters aren’t able to rely on Ticket Sales alone to keep them going…that is only a tiny part of it. In order to continue to present the kind of quality theater you have come to expect from us, we need YOU to help! How can I help? you ask….If you are already a MEMBER of the Waterfront Playhouse Family, I ask that you consider deepening your commitment financially by becoming a member at a higher level than you had before. Each level provides special perks and privileges…. BUT, the important thing is to look at it as not so much as ‘what you can get out of your membership’ but what you are giving and doing to provide Key West with the BEST Theater experience possible! If you have Never been a Member of the Waterfront Playhouse before…. I hope you will realize that we NEED YOUR HELP and support more than ever!…now right NOW! You can go online to www.waterfrontplayhouse.org or call 305-294-5015 to order your membership….and you can see the Breakdown of what each Level of Membership provides. You will be helping us beyond words…. To recover from Hurricane Irma, declining state funding and increasing costs!!! Thank you so much for your support of the Waterfront Playhouse and LIVE Theater in Paradise!!!
THE MAYOR’S RACE IS STILL ON….Do I have your attention? And then there were TWO…. The Aug. 28 election had TERI JOHNSTON winning 49% of the vote for Mayor …. Margaret Romero garnered 22%….. that means they will both be on the Nov. 6th ballot, and the winner will be decided on that evening! If you are in town to vote, make sure you go out to the polls that day. You can also opt to EARLY VOTE from Oct. 22 thru Nov. 3 at 530 Whitehead St….. AND…. If you will still not be in town to vote early or on the day….and you are able to vote….. PLEASE REQUEST ANOTHER ABSENTEE BALLOT and vote by Mail!!!! Call NOW , Supervisor of Elections, at 305-292-3416. Just want you to know that the important thing is to exercise your right and privilege to vote…. But that being said, I do hope that you will highly consider the candidate that my husband and I are supporting, TERI JOHNSTON!!!! She, in our opinion, will be a superb Mayor in Key West!!!! She does possess all the qualities that we desire in a Leader….. plus her great ability to heal and bring people together. She is a voice of reason and truly cares about each resident in our town!
TERI FOR MAYOR…..Election day is but 5 weeks away…and we in Key West NEED TERI JOHNSTON!!! Teri faces a more challenging race in Nov. than she did in the broad field in August. Matthew Helmerich and Evan Corns are working furiously on her behalf…. And are requesting contributions for her campaign…. If you can see your way clear, please donate at this time. The max donation is $1,000 per individual or corporation…Make checks payable to: Teri For Mayor… and send to PO Box 5882, Key West, FL 33045. TERI represents the very best of Key West!

Remember, there are many reasons that we pray…not just because people 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.

*** THE LIBRA PERSONALITY…SEPTEMBER 24 THRU OCTOBER 22 ***
On first meeting a Libran, your impression will be of someone who is charming, diplomatic, and eager to put you at ease. Harmony is very important for Librans. They hate it when tempers flare or the atmosphere is tense and they won’t relax until things are on an even keel. Librans like balance in their lives, although they desperately try to control the situation. It is calming and relaxing to be around Librans, thanks to their ability to put others first and themselves second…so you always feel special. Librans make you feel that you are the only person in the world when they are with you and that makes you glow inside. Librans rarely put their foot in their mouths and they also always look good as they put lots of effort into their appearance. They have instinctive good taste and prefer classic clothes to the latest fashion fads. Although charming, they also have a tough side, and when they aren’t pleased with something or someone, they have a very affectionate, way of letting you know. Librans are happiest when operating on an intellectual level. They always see at least two sides to every story and would rather sit on the fence than make up their minds. Librans do very well in areas of love. Librans have a powerful need for other people and they feel like fish out of water when they are too long on their own. They can be very loving, affectionate and romantic. They are hard to resist. Librans are much happier IN a relationship than out of one…they will endure a lot of misery and heartache rather than make the final break and be left on their own. It is easy to hurt a Libran’s feelings, though they will do their best to put on a brave face. Librans are known to fall in love with love…they are hopeless romantics. They are also very idealistic and prefer to see only the good in others. They often turn a blind eye to their partner’s faults. They tend to put their beloved on a pedestal and are crushed when this person disappoints them and reveals that they are human after all. The best signs for a Libran are another Libran, Leo, Gemini, Sagittarius and Taurus.
Librans enjoy the high life and need plenty of money to afford it. They want a good job that brings in lots of cash. They prefer to be a part of a Team rather than to work alone. Professions they are good at include diplomacy, fashion, beauty and music. They love spending money on themselves and those they love…. What they really would like is to inherit a fortune or win the lottery!!!!
WE LOVE OUR CHARMING LIBRAN FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS!!!!!
