**ROYAL CORONATION BALL, OCT. 20…..What a wonderful evening at the Casa Marina!!! Erin McKenna produced, and Bria Ansara emceed what was arguably the very best Coronation Ball Extravaganza ever! They had a super theme and stuck with it in its entirety….they had some of Key West’s most fabulous vocalists and entertainers perform all evening long….and the production numbers were outstanding! Congrats to these two beautiful and talented gals who garnered an A+ for their efforts. It was a lovely evening to dine under the stars…..and the meal was really yummy too! Congrats to the new Fantasy Fest King, Paul Murphy and Queen, Destiny Montgomery….and Duke Bucky Montgomery and Duchess Vicki Hodgson…. They worked tirelessly to raise over $129,000 for AIDS Help, against so many odds. They could have walked away from the whole thing after Irma’s invasion but they continued on with their events and nothing could deter them! We love you four and we are your grateful and indebted subjects!!! Don’t forget to thank them profusely for all they did during their campaigns. I want to make a special mention of Sushi aka Gary Marian, who created some of the most fabulous costumes for our Royalty and for others in the show…..Amazing…his/her talents are sublime. Also want to single out Christopher Peterson who was fabulous as ever, in a costume of his design that was smashing, and a performance that always wows! He also deserves kudos for receiving a very special award from AIDS Help for his many years of donating his time and talent to always be there!!!! Needless to say, a great time was had by all at the Ball!!!!!

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.

LYNDA FRECHETTE HAS TOE-LIO!!!….Really not funny, but if you don’t laugh about it you cry! On Sept. 8, while I was in Ohio while Bob came to Key West to secure our house from the storm, I had a strange thing happen to my right big toe. My toe nail split vertically on about a quarter of the toe, and it came off. Went to a urgent care center and they treated it as best they could….encouraged soaking baths in Epsom salts and put me on antibiotics. So last Thursday, I was carrying the pan of water back to dump in the sink and unbeknownst to me, some of that water splashed on the kitchen floor. On the way back to join Bob on the sofa to watch TV, I slipped on that bit of water and did something to my left foot. I went to the Urgent Care here in KW, the foot was x-rayed and found I had broken my left toe. They recommended that I see a podiatrist for both feet….which I did on Oct. 25. To make a long story shorter…I had an ingrown toe nail on my right foot, a ball of skin growing there, and the x-ray showed that there was also a small cyst on the toe. I had surgery in the office to remove the ingrown nail, the skin growth and the cyst is going to be analyzed. Lots of blood!!!! At this point the meds haven’t worn off yet, so I am dreading any future pain. My left foot had two breaks….I am subsequently wearing a big ugly black boot on that foot and will have to for some time. It seems I went into the office doing better than when I left it. Needless to say I am NOT a happy camper….what a miserable time to have this happen to me! I hate to complain, when so many have bigger issues to deal with. Anyway….thought I would mention it… if you see me around town you will know the story and I won’t have to go into too many explanations. Aside from that, all this has surely put a damper on my Fantasy Fest Activities….to say nothing of not being able to play tennis, power walk, or tap dance!

*** THE SCORPIO PERSONALITY…OCTOBER 23 THROUGH NOVEMBER 22 ***
I am starting this by saying that some of my best friends are Scorpios….as well as my very best friend, my dear husband Bob! They are an amazing group….terrific company and possess a fantastic sense of humor. That being said, Scorpios view life in a very emotional and intense way….and they find it very difficult to express profound feelings that they have. Scorpios keep their deep feelings buried under the surface. They have an innate need for privacy and secrecy making them reluctant to let people know how they feel. This sign is often viewed as being obsessive and it is true that a Scorpio takes things quite seriously. They are happiest when they are able to concentrate their energies in particular directions, because they need to feel emotionally involved in everything they do. Otherwise life loses its meaning and purpose. Once a Scorpio has made up their mind about something, it is very hard to persuade them to change it. They often have fixed ideas about all sorts of things and can take a very hard line over such topics as capital punishment and imprisonment. Despite a Scorpio’s natural loyalty, if you push them too far or double cross them in some way, they will never forget it and they will never forgive you. They will probably give you the cold shoulder to exact their revenge. It is wise not to get on the wrong side of a Scorpio! A Scorpio’s magnetic charm and powerful personality attract many fans. People love the fact that ‘still waters run deep’….and when a Scorpio is silent, everyone wonders what they are thinking and go to great lengths to find out. They know there is lots more going on under the surface than the Scorpio will reveal.
Love is an area that can cause problems for Scorpios as they take it so seriously. There is nothing superficial about members of this sign, and as a result they need relationships that are deep and satisfying. One night stand and brief flirtations quickly lose their charm…the Scorpio is looking for something more significant than that, and when they find it they will channel all their energies into it. They do demand a great deal from their partner, with love and loyalty at the top of the list. One big Scorpio problem is jealousy and another is possessiveness. If a Scorpio has been hurt in the past, it can be very hard for him to resolve these issues. Sex and Scorpio go together like bread and butter. They place such great importance on sex because it is such a good way for them to express their feelings. The best signs for a Scorpio are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo another Scorpio and Leo.
What a Scorpio does for a living must have meaning and purpose, needing to feel emotionally involved in their career. Otherwise they will feel unhappy and dissatisfied. They must believe their work is meaningful…nothing demeaning or boring for them! They will pour all their energies into their work wanting to do something that provides endless interest and stimulation.
Scorpios also love to know what’s going on…so they are the eyes and ears enjoying sharing the latest gossip and intrigue. It is important for them to get on well with their colleagues and that they work in a comfortable atmosphere. They need positions of power, even though it may be minor…..the thought that everyone else has control but them is devastating! Scorpios are attracted to law, science, detective work, medicine, research and the like. They also get great satisfaction from working in the wine trade…especially if they can attend lots of wine tastings. Scorpios need more money than most…as financial security is very important to them….they also enjoy the power that comes with money. Living comfortably is of utmost important to the
Scorpio…..In their hearts they know they should have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth…. And if they were not to the manor born, they will do everything in their power to achieve that status symbol. Investing and accumulating are important to the Scorpio…they are canny investors and love playing the stock market.
WE LOVE OUR MARVELOUS SCORPIO FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS!!!!!
