HAPPY AUGUST 10 TO…VICKI ROUSH…STUART KAUFMAN … HOWARD WOLDMAN… KRISTEN GONZALEZ… CAROL MUSCH…. (Please remember Jack McAdams.)

DEAR READERS….. Just to let you know that Bob and I went to see HAMILTON last night at the elegant State Theater in Cleveland last night. We had been hungering to see it and when we heard that the touring company coming through Cleveland was exceptional, we decided to get tix… and we are elated we did! It really was quite marvelous and I understand what all the ‘fuss’ is about. It is a most unique musical… the word brilliant comes to mind! Great cast… amazing voices and dancing…Each musical number was a showstopper! We were glad that we listened to the CD’s several times and read all the words of all the songs… I was afraid that because it was rap the singing would be difficult to understand…. Everyone’s voice was clear and enunciated beautifully. I will say that I loved Act 1 better than Act 2 (though I loved Act 2)… and the fellows who played Burr and King George were standouts in this production! They were FABULOUS!!!! By the way, this was a continuation of my birthday celebration…. Another gift from dear, dear Bob!!!!

***TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!!!! ATTENTION SNOW BIRDS WHO ARE FLORIDA RESIDENTS!!!…If you are a Snow Bird, but a Florida resident, as we are, and are not here on August 28th, please be aware that there is a VERY important Vote on August 28.. Just because you are not in town, does not mean you don’t have to cast your vote. In fact…. This year your vote is of the UTMOST importance!!! There are multiple individuals running for the office of Mayor of Key West….. most with little or no experience whatsoever. I am urging you to PLEASE vote for TERI JOHNSTON!!! (Scroll down and read more, below!) We love Key West and we know you do too, and we all have a stake on our future here!!! I ask you to please call NOW for an absentee ballot.

****TERI JOHNSTON FOR MAYOR!!!!!… I AM NOT SUBLTE!!!! We want you ALL to know that my husband Bob, and I, are supporting TERI JOHNSTON FOR MAYOR OF KEY WEST and have, in fact, already received our absentee ballots and have cast our vote for TERI JOHNSTON!!!! There are a lot of fine candidates….. but, in my opinion, there is ONLY ONE that stands out from the rest….. and that is TERI! She was a wonderful KW Commissioner who made a HUGE impact on Key West and its constituents. We had always hoped that someday she would throw her hat in the ring and run for MAYOR! She is caring, thoughtful, intelligent, logical, calm under pressure, loves Key West and knows how to get things done! On August 28 there will be a chance to Vote for TERI JOHNSTON and I hope you will. TERI has YOUR BEST interests at heart. And to ALL Snowbirds who are Florida residents and can vote in Florida…..If you cannot be here to vote in person, PLEASE get an Absentee Ballot and vote from wherever you may be. IT IS SO IMPORTANT!!! I urge you to call the Supervisor of Elections Office NOW at 305-292-3416, and request an Absentee Ballot. Don’t wait… PLEASE DO IT NOW!!! You will receive your ballot soon August. They need to be returned promptly…. NO later than 7 pm on election day, August 28. TERI NEEDS EVERY SINGLE SNOWBIRD’S VOTE to assure a victory! If she gets 50% +1 votes, she will become the Mayor….and there would be no need for any run off! That is what we are aiming for. I thank you for considering TERI JOHNSTON as Mayor of Key West!!! We are all in this together, folks…. And we, who love Key West, want the very BEST leader….and TERI JOHNSON is by and far the VERY BEST OF THE BEST!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I know there are those out there who are supporting other candidates….that is your prerogative…. The most important thing is that you do vote for whomever you please. This is a free country and what makes America the great country it is. But that being said…. I do HOPE and PRAY that TERI gets your vote!!!! I know she will make us proud!!!

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 LEO PERSONALITY…..JULY 24 THROUGH AUGUST 23 ***

Leo is the most regal sign of the Zodiac. Leos have an air of dignity and they behave accordingly. They know they are different from everyone else and do not want anyone to forget it. Just like the Sun which rules Leo, we would die without the Sun, and, on some level, Leos know that everyone else would wither up without them. Leos are definitely life enhancing!

You can usually spot a Leo by their hair. Most have luxuriant thick manes….and, they take a lot of care with their tresses…spending a lot of dollars on all the best treatments and products. They are most exuberant and enthusiastic….as well as very warm and affectionate. Everyone needs at least one Leo in their lives, simply for the ego boosts they will receive from their Leo friend. Most Leos are quietly confident and don’t feel the need to prove how great they are. It’s very important for a Leo to feel they’ve made an impression on people…but this happens quite naturally. A Leo doesn’t have to put on airs and graces to do it.

Leos excel at organization…they are brilliant at making things happen. They have a natural air of authority that makes everyone else sit up and take notice.

Family matters are very dear to every Leo’s heart. They place a lot of importance on keeping in touch with scattered members of the clan. They love gathering their relatives around them. They have a big interest in their children and will teach them to stand on their own two feet.

Leo is the sign of creativity….they are filled with many talents, and need to find ways to express themselves creatively, lest they become frustrated and irritable. They love to dance, act and paint….and also enjoy other people’s artistic abilities, especially in the cinema and theater. Leo is the sign of Drama!!!!!

Love & Leo go together…they find it easy to show affection to those in their lives. The typical Leo has a huge heart and boundless supplies of love for everyone they care about. Once someone has caught a Leo’s affections they’ll always retain a place in the Leo’s heart…unless they hurt them so deeply that they can never forgive them. Loyalty is high on a Leo’s list of priorities….they are most faithful and expect their loved ones to behave in the same way. They show their affection outwardly. Their friends can look forward to being cherished by the Leo.

There is one snag in relationships, and that is the Leo’s tendency to boss others around. It’s not that they mean to do it…more that they just can’t seem to help themselves! Their confidence in themselves makes them feel they can always call the shots. The best signs for a Leo are Gemini, Cancer, Libra….also Scorpio and Aries.

Leos have tremendous potential and can turn their hand to do virtually anything. They are continuously discovering fresh talents and skills. They are blessed with plenty of creative and artistic skills. Leos don’t expect constant praise but they like to know they are appreciated. If a Leo can’t make things happen, no one can. Leos need to take center stage ….it is the rare Leo who is content to sit on the sidelines. That is why so many Leos work in the entertainment industry, excelling at acting, dancing, singing. Writing, and designing. They are also drawn to painting, fashion, sports, and cooking.

Leos need money because they have very high standards….only the very best is good enough for them, because they feel they deserve it. They are drawn to the best that money can buy….Quality not quantity is their motto. Leos adore lavishing presents on loved ones…just to let them know they care. They love to spoil their favorite people no matter the cost.

WE LOVE OUR VERY TALENTED, CARING, LEO FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS!!!
