Yesterday as I drove across the north causeway I noticed this founders day sign. It made me think of Kirsten and Carl. In the neighborhood they live in they don't have house numbers, but each house has a name. When they bought their house they didn't really like the old name so after much thought and after a visit to New Smyrna where they ran into someone who was really into the history of our city they decided to give it the old name of "Smyrnea". You don't see that in print very often so this morning I got on my bike and rode over the bridge and down the causeway and took a picture of the sign. The other picture is the plaque that Kirsten and Carl had made for their house in England, which for awhile they kept beside the old name so that the postman could get used to the new name.

Thanks for thinking of us Mom! We often get asked where the name comes from. The only annoying thing about it is that you always have to spell it. But I am used to spelling my name all the time anyway.
Poor Carl probably has the same problem with his name being misspelled as Karl.
I have the same problem. Some people that I know and love call me Cliff! when it should be Clif or most surely Cap!
Thinking of you all
