Street signs for a couple of those roads brought smiles to our faces and at least one LOL moment when we turned onto &#8220;Laughter Road&#8221; after following &#8220;Get Well Road&#8221; for several miles. I wondered who named those roads and why did they decide on those particular names.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>My Ah Ha moment arrived when we were driving a long distance to spend Christmas with my family in another state that same year. Many times in my travels I have seen towns that were named after each of my sisters but I had never seen my own name on a road or town sign.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But that on that trip, there it was: Kathy\u2019s Road! Right there on that sign on the interstate. The sign said Kathy&#8217;s Road! As we were only half way into a 14 hour trip there was no way my husband was going to turn around for me to capture that sight with my camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But I saw it. And my husband saw it, too, so I know it was real.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I wondered who Kathy was for whom that road had been named. Something to ponder on the final 7 hours of that trip.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Words On A Sign&#8230;&#8230;. providing laughter, an Ah Ha moment and food for thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify\">Traveling during a past holiday season brought several laughs and at least one Ah Ha moment when reading road signs.
