When my son was in the US Air Force, assigned to Dyess AFB in Abeliene Texas, he visted Mrs JimJr and I at home when he could.Since the visits were infrequent, I would prepare a series of signs along our driveway, much like the "Burma Shave" signs along the public highways many years ago.
These are the signs I made for one of his visits prior to placing them along the drive.
