You all know how I feel about outdoor therapy. My daughter, Traci, painted this sign in my den for my birthday. Please excuse the sleeping bags, waders, etc.
Along with the Dolphin welcome sign on our porch, another wall holds this sign that tells it like it is.
We do feel that we are united as a family forever . Eternity will be the ultimate joy if I can spend it with a loving family.
A sign on the wall in our bedroom. I really can't remember if Billie put it there, or if I did. The message applies to both of us.
In our living room we have a very important sign. At the bottom it says, "In His Light". Christ made all things possible.
So, while we may not be on Easy Street, we do feel truly blessed. (There is a literal Easy St. only a few blocks from our home.) Just north of St. Augustine, the beauty salon, Curl Up & Dye is open for business.
When we do curl up & die, there will be few regrets. The important things in life sustain us. Faith, Family, Friends........and Fishing get me through each day. Thank you for being my great friends.
I thought I didn't have any signs for this week and was going to bow out, but you've given me some ideas - Thanks Gordon!
ReplyDeleteGordon, one thing is for sure. This is definitely you. I don't really know you but the short time I've been reading your blog, these signs completely fit your personality. I adore all your personal signs, and the beauty salon....what a cute name for a business.. I hear St. Augustine is a beautiful city enriched with great architecture and history. I enjoyed your photos this week.
ReplyDeleteI like your signs, Gordon!
ReplyDeleteI love your "best friend" sign. You've given me an idea, I think I will embroider one like it for my daughter. Loved all your photos and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI love your signs, Gordon!! Fantastic. I think I need to put more of signs like that up in my own home, they sure do add that special touch. I really am in love with the one that says you are a fisherman with the best catch of his life!! You sure do know how to get to a gal's heart with that one! Nice Friday post. I really have to apologize, cuz I had joined the gang, posted only a few times, and then seemed to disappear off the face of the earth! I hope to get back to it soon. Debby
ReplyDeleteThe salon one made me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteyou have some great ones here Gordon. my favs are the fisherman lives with the best catch and curl up and dye!! great shoot out!!
ReplyDeleteSigns Signs everywhere a sign.
ReplyDeleteThose are some good ones!
:) Wonderful presentation of signage, Gordon. That last one is a hoot...I don't think I'll go there.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, Gordon. Lots of fun. And you didn't even have to travel far to complete it!!
ReplyDeleteI just made an appointment for a haircut at "Northwest Hairlines" Regarding company names, why are beauty salons the main places with an appreciation for puns?
ReplyDeletea fisherman lives here with the best catch of his life! yes sir ee. this is the best.
ReplyDeletelook at the scattering, really good sign posted there. my vote for the best this week.
I knew you would sneak a fishing sign in somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI will take Easy Street after I have my hair done. Should I be a blonde or a redhead?
I'm think blonde after not recognizing my own town. Your trickster, you.
Love your sign essay, Gordon. The Family sign is especially nice.
Those signs truly did make my heart smile Gordon.
ReplyDeleteGordon you seem like I am definitely going to enjoy meeting you! Being an ex-hairdresser I love the salon sign for sure...and at first glance I thought that one sign said 'Good things come to those who bath' LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love a bath, too! I am looking forward to a great week in N.Y. Sent my payment for our room in the first of the week. They wouldn't take a card.
ReplyDeleteIn some places, a fisherman doesn't tell people where the best place to fish. He also doesn't tell how many fishes he has caught.
ReplyDeleteI have a Vietnamese boy student who goes fishing every Monday with his dad. When I joke with him to take me with them, he says seriously," Girls not allowed."
So you will take me fishing, won't you and catch all those big fish?
Ann, I will take you fishing anytime. Come for a visit, and we will have a terrific time on the river. There are enough fish for everyone. No need for secrets.
ReplyDeletethose are cool
ReplyDeleteGreat post. My husband is also a very 'punny'man
ReplyDeleteGordon,
ReplyDeleteYou are a man of many words and great expressions. Thank you for leaving the wonderful poem WE LEFT NO TRACE on my meme blog the other day. I understood the post was for me but thank you for thinking of me as a "National Treasure!" I haven't commented yet because a close collegue passed on Tuesday and I am having a rough week. The funeral was yesterday. "In His Light" will help me through. I love your dolphin welcome sign on your front door. Like Sarah Lulu says, "You make my heart smile." Even your signs.
Love the fishing signs, of course! We had a sign in our charter office that said "A boat is a hull in the water into which you pour money". My dad must have it in his garage now - I should have taken a picture of it!
ReplyDeleteFunny salon name!
You always have a great idea Gordon. You are smart indeed! I like the idea and the sign photos about F- family, friends and fishing etc.
ReplyDeleteYou have found some great signs! I enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Gordon! Loved all the signs.
