The Florida Keys--Islamorada, Florida
Description:
A railroad was being built in the early 1900's through the Keys, but the train would only stop in named towns. So, William J. Krome is said to have named their village "Islamorada" after the "Island Home" schooner owned by the pioneering Pinder family. The name was translated from Spanish as “purple isles." On Labor Day weekend in 1935 a Hurricane that sent winds up to 200miles per hr and created turbulent seas that sent a 17-foot tidal wave across Islamorada, killing hundreds of veterans and local residents. Two years later, after the railroad ties and other debris were removed, a Hurricane monument was erected at Mile Marker 81 in Islamorada. This is a very beautiful place!

A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know. Mistinguett

A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, “ROAR,” step, step, “ROAR,” all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.
The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."
