Definitely "Worth" it




















The Coffee Plantation barista team of Diane, Loretta, and Theo have been attending art classes from the famed local Key West artist Rick Worth, Rick is known for it's paintings of our tropical island of Key West and he uses everything he can find to use for his painting pallet.
You can find Rick's work on tin roof panels, cars (yes, cars as in vehicle) and of course canvas.
His classes are attended by art eager locals who would love to pick up some of Rick's incredible talent.
Last night our friend and Key West visitor Cherie joined us for a "art boot camp" class.
The results are phenomenal, who knew, yes, we can be a artist too....

Hot from the press

As the sports page reported....

Key West's Southernmost Bocce League rolled into their spring season opener with excitement this past week. A-Plus Strokers and Bobalu's were the big winners Monday night sweeping all three games against Pallina Posse and Angelina's Pizzeria respectively. The league's reigning champs Cowboy Bill's had a bye giving the Monday night rollers a breather from this dynamic team.
On Tuesday,
Grumpy's Sunset Cigar went 3-0 against Sons of Italy and Margaritaville won all three games against ReMarCables to go 3-0 as well. Meantime Bocce Babes showed some talent and finesse going 2-1 in their match with West Marine.
On Wednesday,
The match of the night was Java Junkies and championship veterans RGC Insurance. Java Junkies jumped out with a 16-5 win but went down in flames 16-12 in both the second and third game of the match. The consistent Green Parrot team and Beer 30 started their season 3-0 making Keys Breeze Realty and Sans Balls rethink their strategy.
On Thursday,
Bocce Bubbas were perfect and took all three against Kathy's Krusaders while the match up of DonKeys and Schoonfield was intense. DonKeys edged out Schoonfield 16-15 in their first game but Schoonfield came back in the second and third game winning their match 16-11, and 16-13 to start 2-1.
