I am getting prepared

For now I am thinking of things to do to improve the initial exposure to the local folk. So far my ideas are:

A drawing, the prize is a set of all my books. with two winners.  Candy Jar on the table (what kind? (just added Shirl brought me a sample of candies, said she had a couple large bowls))  I am printing book markers (suggestions for freebies?)

I received my booth location today, it is good I think the second at one main entrance.

This town has changed in the past several years.  From a manufacturing town, it has become a bed-room for the city of Charlotte. At one time my company was pretty well known in this town, now only few folks remember it. Most of the homes I built are owned by the 2nd or 3rd owner, the original buyers have traded up. But I do expect to run into some old customers.

I doubt if any of my HS classmates remember me, I dropped out in the 10th or 11th grade after only two years here.

Oh the sign?

Above was my original sign.. below is what I saved.

This is what I came up with, filling in the blanks.

I think maybe I need quote marks around “FINALLY LOVE”.  Our twin grandsons will be there selling their latest CD. I am thinking of gluing a CD in the lower right hand corner, what do you think.  Any suggestions on additions to the sign?

That is what is happening here in the little town of Belmont.

These are just a few of one collectors ‘57 Chevys, they are beauties. It blows my mind to own this many of one year. My question is Why? and his answer is probably, “Because I can.” 

I would love to have one to drive around. I like to use what I own

(Don’t get me wrong, I think a guy should do what he can afford and what he can. As long as it doesn’t hurt his neighbor or fellow man!)
