But this weekend, you just have to travel south on Interstate 95 to West Palm Beach to see the shining, orange faces of the U.S. Presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Why orange?  Because the homage you will witness in West Palm Beach is made out of cheese.

Cheese artist Troy Landwehr used more than 640 pounds of mild cheddar to carve out his tribute, called "My Country 'Tis of Cheese.

I love telling stories about my home state. And I hope they will help you in some way and maybe even lift your spirits.
