He's Here?!
I realize the following shares may cross some lines, but I can't let them pass by. For anyone that wonders if their loved ones are still nearby... You'll understand.
It was the morning of the Henderson show. We were setting up the tables and tent, as car after rumbling car passed. Each were headed for their showcase spot for the day. Thumping engines were impressive and gave a clear indication of what was under each hood. Not yet daylight, it was difficult to see each car until it was directly in front of you... even though we had a front row seat.
Oddly, a car that looked just like the '40 Ford Dad started racing with stalled right in front of our table! The thought came to mind,"Dad? Is that you? Are you trying to let me know you're here?" Logically, I dismissed the wishful thinking, and went back to setting up.
All morning that stalled Ford stayed with me. I so much wished Dad was here.

Finally, tables, tents and scrapbooks were set-up. All we had to do was wait for the show to open. As we mulled about, a huge flock of geese flew overhead. (Click to see why this is a big deal) When I looked up, I saw the street sign!
Okay! That's three! HI DAD!!
Directly under this very sign is where we were stationed all day.

Storytime...
"Hey Nancy,We just got back from the March Meet in Bakersfield (2009) which is sorta like the Indy 500 of drag racing. Three days of 500 race cars, tens of thousands of people, and nonstop action. On Friday night, we walked to a place next to our hotel called Buck Owens Country Palace... and alongside the highway we see a little sign and a 10' x 20' patch of dirt surrounded by a fence... Open the attachment to find a surprise. I mean, what are the chances? Unbelievable!!!"
