The invitation from the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce for the grand-reopening party and ribbon-cutting at Pines & Palms Resort was clear: “To help create a great visual for TV, please try to wear a light blue or turquoise shirt if possible.”And the attendees of last Saturday’s event, which was being filmed by HGTV, definitely got the memo.

Bud N’ Mary’s Marina has heart-stopping sunset views that can’t be beat. Some would even say they are the best in the Florida Keys — a land with many can’t-be-beat sunset views. And according to Bud N’ Mary’s staff, the charter fleet also provides the best sportfishing in Islamorada, the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World.” Athletes, movie stars and even a president or two have been known to hop on Bud N’ Mary’s boats for a day of dropping lines.

“Remember, you’re not ugly. Just poor.”During the depths of the pandemic, I started to see this phrase again and again on my Instagram feed, displayed on memes with before-and-after photos of famous (and very, very rich) models/influencers/athletes/actors. Pics of everyone from Kylie Jenner to Tom Brady showed astonishing makeovers, clearly after numerous cosmetic procedures, surgeries and sessions with a highly paid glam squad.

Tavernier artist Annmarie Anderson’s paintings are so unabashedly romantic, you almost want to give them a little privacy. In one, a hidden path lined with lilies leads to a trickling fountain carved into a stone wall. In another, a boat rests at a dock on still, mirror-like water. And in yet another, a long, balustraded porch frames a sandy white beach that is so perfect, it can only be found in dreams. One can easily imagine a lovers’ tryst taking place in any of these locations.

In the early 1950s, Marathon resident Grace Jones took a bus down to Key West to talk to Horace O’Bryant. He was the superintendent of the county’s schools at the time, and Jones was hoping that she could get his permission to send her children to Key West to study. Due to segregation laws, the sole school in Marathon was just for white students, so the only way for Black children to get an education was in Key West.

In 2003, Midwest couple Steve and Sheila Cook came to the Keys on vacation and, for all intents and purposes, didn’t leave for 20 years. In the process, they became so popular that Steve literally became the mayor of Marathon and Sheila established herself as a leader in the arts community. Now they have moved back to Missouri, where they are originally from, to be closer to their three children and nine grandchildren.

Tom McDonald’s children can be forgiven if they mistook their father for Superman. The 77-year-old husband, father and grandfather was not only a CPA, an army veteran, a Mosquito Board commissioner, an FKAA board member, an Upper Keys Rotarian and a church founder, but he also practiced karate — every day. Perhaps not even a speeding bullet or Kryptonite could stop him. “Many little girls grow up thinking their dad is Superman,” his daughter, Anna, said at the packed Dec.

Coral Isles Church is opening its doors on Thursday, Dec. 21, at 6 p.m. to all who seek comfort, healing and quiet contemplation with like-minded souls during the holiday season. The ceremony, called “Blue Christmas” Service, is an antidote for the unique loneliness that can surprisingly arise during the annual parade of bloated meals, extravagant gift-giving and alcohol-fueled, tinsel-strewn parties.
