The Three Sisters

Here are recent photographs of the Three Sisters—Jesk, Socks, and Sparky—born this past June or so under the house next door to Blue Heaven. They grew up quickly, and were very cautious about humans for the longest time. Slowly, especially with all the coaxing and instruction and tasty tidbits available to civilized cats here at Blue Heaven, they came around. Now they are regular fixtures.

Well, Jesk and Socks are. Sparkles can be seen daily a half-block up at the very wonderful Besame Mucho, her hang-out of choice. The Sister all remain very close, and clean one another, and are all in possession of great character and personality. Jesk daily takes up residence on Joan's desk and lap (Joan's Desk = Jesk. Get it?) Socks comes and goes in and out all day.

Life of Riley? Oh yes indeed! Very much so. And the pictures below are just an update for the many who have become fans of the Sisters. Enjoy!

Cat To Good Home (Will not ship - sorry!)


This is Jesk. Jesk got her name because that's where she lives...on Joan's Desk!

This is one of the three sisters who have become young teenagers here at Blue Heaven, and it's time to find them a home. At least, Jesk! She's taken over the office.

If you want a wonderful loves-to-be-loved new kitty, come on by and meet Jesk. And if you really feel up to it, she's got two sisters!

Blue Heaven - #1 Restaurant in US - Yahoo! Travel



As everyone at Blue Heaven knows, Richard and computers go together like peanut butter and bleu cheese.

Which is why noone believed him when he said that on Yahoo! Travel, Blue Heaven was listed as "the #1 restaurant in all the US." In fact, he had three people check it independent of one another just to verify that 1) it was indeed the case, and that 2) he was the one who had noticed/discovered it.

And he was right! On both counts! Above is the screen grab. Or else you can go and see for yourself. Thank you to all the people who wrote about us on Yahoo! for making Blue Heaven #1!
Woo-woo!

Ricky - BLUE HEAVEN's "Office-ial" Cat

Ricky The Cat
This is Ricky. He is a "good boy" kind-of cat, a tuff guy but a cool and good-feeling cat, as well. And he's not actually missing an ear, it's just crumpled up.

Ricky can be found most regularly lounging on Joan the Bookkeeper's desk. He has a thing for numbers.

Ricky recently had a bad tooth pulled. It was by accident, a side-benefit of being treated for an eye that was having some troubles. Regardless of his terrific office demeanor, he is not the best patient. You can imagine.

Here he is in most office Sphinx pose: As always, Ricky the Cat is on top of things.

Walk (or Bike) to Blue Heaven!!

CONCHREP 72a

The parking in our wonderful neighborhood, Bahama Village, is very limited. How limited? Our neighbors have asked us to request our guests to WALK or BIKE or MOPED or TAXI to Blue Heaven. (There is plenty of space for bicycles and motor-scooters!)

All in all, the island of Key West is approximately 2 miles by 4.5 miles, so actually walking most anywhere to and fro on the island is "do-able." However, considering 90% of our guests stay within a 1-mile radius of Blue Heaven, and that we are centrally located (two blocks off of the 700-800 block of Duval Street, at the corner of Thomas and Petronia) and that walking gives everyone the opportunity to experience the best part of Key West island life - that is, the pace - what is "do-able" becomes "worth doing." Plus, it's environmentally practical! As such, we have begun an outreach to our friends and family to walk or bike when heading to Blue Heaven.

If you have any questions, here is a map of our location. OR give us a call at 305-296-8666, and we'll be happy to help everyone figure out the best and most enjoyable way possible to get to Blue Heaven.

BLUE HEAVEN Rum Punch Recipe

(Found internet photo - by Dee Light)

Hello,
I had drinks there last week with Julia at the bar. A wonderful experience!!! Julia is awesome!!! We also had dinner which also proved to be an excellent dining experience.

I had the Blue Heaven Rum Punch and I know it had Coconut Rum, Banana Rum and one other kind of Rum. What was the other kind of Rum? I loved the drink so much I wanted to make some here at home as we can’t all live in Paradise all the time. If you could please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you so much,

Bob Baldree
P/S. Tell Julia that Bob, Gary, and Carol from Valdosta, GA said hello.


Dear Bob,
The last rum of the trio is pineapple rum - and don't forget the splash of lime juice! And we'll be sure to tell Julia you send her regards. She is developing quite the fan club. Thanks for the kudos.
