by all means --get this sign before the construction does......I can see why it has sentimental values.

You did good! I still look at that sign every durn time I pass by it on the highway.
I remember when I was just a LITTLE boy, maybe 5 yrs old, Mama and me were walking to the mailbox and a had a screaming hissy fit when I saw a green snake! I made MAMA kill it with a stick!
Boy, she sacrificed a lot for me!

I wish I had a nickle every time I walked up and down that ole road.
Just for the record, Boy was a Gordon Setter. He bacame deaf in his old age and on my 16th birthday, I started the car and backed over him. He never heard it. He was a good 'un.
I remember when I first began to drive solo that sometimes Daddy would position himself on the first hill leading into the upper gravel pit, sos he could check me drivin' out a little.
He never tried to hide himself. He'd just stand if full view, back a hundred yards off the old road. The sight of him slowed me w a a a y down.
There were times when I would 'power slide Daddy's ole truck around the corners of that old gravel drive. If he'd ever caught me doin' that, I probably would not have gotten my driving privileges back until after I joined the Navy. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
Oh, one more thing. I remember coming up the road one afternoon after school and just before I walked into the final turn, the one where the house came into view, I got a whiff of Spagatti and Meat Balls. It must have been 200 yards. My mouth watered. The boloney sandwich and ever-present Hostess Cup Cakes were long gone by 4:00pm~
I told Momma about that and she didn't believe me! Can you imagine that??? I reckon the wind had carried her wonderful cooking arromas j u s t
right to where I could smell 'em up.
Such were the days of yore!
Thanks for the memories, once again.

get that for you before it is too late. I drive around my area and there is very little left of the old days. That sign will long bring you memories. Get it now before it is too late

one of my most precious Christmas gifts I received in 2003 was a bound book from Arkie. That was before he got me hooked on this sight. I am now adding to it, as a gift for my girls and grandchildren. I think they have to be older to understand how important these times were to us, and now that my girls are all married with children, the time is right! Thank You! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="">
