The Sweetest BeanChewy, sweet and colorful, jelly beans are a favorite treat for people of all ages.

Jelly beans are widely believed to have originated from Turkish delight, a candy made of cornstarch and sugar that is similar to the soft, gel-like center of a jelly bean. Jordan almonds, a type of candied almond with a hard outer shell, may also have been an inspiration.

An unknown American candy maker created the first jelly beans in the mid-1800s, and in the 1860s, they were marketed to soldiers serving in the Civil War. The protective, non-sticky outer shell and small size made them easy to carry in pockets. Jelly beans quickly became a popular penny candy and were the first candy to be sold by weight rather than by piece.

About 16 billion jelly beans are produced every year. Depending on the manufacturer, it can take seven to 21 days to make a jelly bean. Once the gooey center is formed, the bean undergoes a process called “panning,” when colors, flavors and several layers of sugar are applied, creating the outer shell.

Cherry (red) is the most popular jelly bean flavor.

Feeling Pregnant Joke“Okay everyone,” said the the instructor at the birthing class trying to get everyone’s attention. “We are going to do an exercise now that’s purpose is to help the men sympathize with their partners.”

“We have here what’s called a pregnancy suit,” said the woman instructor, holding up an artificial stomach with a strap. “This imitates the feeling of being pregnant. Which husband volunteers to be the first one to try it on?”

“I will,” said one man, taking the suit and trying it on. “This isn’t too bad,” said the man walking around. “I think I could get used to this.” “Okay,” said the instructor smiling, “now I would like you to bend down and pick up my pen from the floor.”

“You want me to pick it up?” he said hesitantly, “just as I would if I was pregnant?” “Yes!” said the instructor.

“Honey,” said the man turning to his spouse, “do you mind picking up that pen for me?”

St. Augustine, FloridaSt. Augustine is a beautiful and charming old world city on the Atlantic coast of Florida.

The oldest permanent city in what is now the continental United States, St. Augustine was founded by the Spanish 42 years before the English landed at Jamestown and 55 years before the first Pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock.

No other community in the country can boast of so many firsts. St. Augustine is home to the oldest masonry fort, oldest public park, first settlement for free blacks, oldest house, the “Fountain of Youth” and the oldest Christian community in the continental U.S. Many of its structures are more than 200 years old and the sheer number of historic sites astounds even the most traveled visitor.

A major destination for heritage tourists, St. Augustine is also known for its beautiful beaches, sparkling blue waters, coastal eco- systems and the offshore spawning grounds of the North Atlantic Right Whale.

If you are yet to visit St. Augustine, this is great place to vacation. Pictures Of Our Family At Lake Forest
