Happy 90th birthday greetings go to local realtor Jackie Kyle. Over the years, she has earned her doctoral degree in meet and greet and happens to be a superb conversationalist.
Ms. Kyle has been doing business from the entrance of City Island, the office been there longer than anyone can recall. This longtime family business was established by her ancestors and its been there ever since.
Jackie outlived one son, her daughter and her late husband, but like the EverReady Bunny, she keeps up her unbelievable energy by taking local strolls and enjoying Martinis.
HEATWAVE EXPECTED SOON
The Memorial Day weekend weather was marvelous, but prepare for the summertime blues during the last week of May.
High temperatures are expected along the Atlantic Coast of the United States this week with high temperatures at or above 80-90 F.
In the South, actual temperatures will run 5-10 degrees above average with some temperatures topping 90 most afternoons in most locations. The cooler spots along the East will be right along the coast, especially the south-facing beaches.
MEMORIAL DAY

Please do not confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Memorial Day is a day for honoring military personnel who died in the service of this country.
So if you are a family member of a fallen military veteran, are currently serving, or you're a former veteran, City Images salutes our military for their sacrifices, and service to USA.
Therefore, please remember the reason USA celebrates Memorial Day. Please say a prayer for our fallen military and reach out to a veteran to thank them for their service to The United States of America.
