We love the Keys because of all the nature and because they're just a little different.  One example of how they're different is the boating season.  Normally this is the time of year when everyone is just launching their boats that were stored up on land for the winter.  In the Keys, many people haul their boats for the summer storm season before they head north.  It's just all backwards.

People in the Keys march to the beat of their own drummer.  On Big Pine, there's a hair cut place in a bar.  You can't make this stuff up.  Read the sign - carefully.

Sometimes nature comes in contact with humans just a bit too much.  Our friend Heidi was driving past the Bank of America on Big Pine and saw a key deer coming out the front door.  The diminutive key deer also wander into the Winn-Dixie grocery store now and then - they head right for the produce section.  It's sad to see wild animals so close to humans - it's never a good outcome for the animals.  We're always careful driving in our neighborhood since we've seen deer there any time of the day or evening.

In an odd coincidence, just a few days after Mom's funeral we attended a memorial ceremony at the Harlem Yacht Club.  As part of the annual Going into Commissioning the club honors members who have passed.  Six months ago I arranged for memorial stones for my three ancestors who were also members of the club around the turn of the 20th century.  Jim and I took Dad to see the ceremony - the stones were for his Father, Uncle, and Grandfather.
