Talk about a full house - my mom's best friend, Donna and her daughter, Clarice were visiting as well as my sons Jonathan and Matthew were home on Spring Break last week. Matthew, Annie, Clarice and myself went out to get gelato one evening and on the way home Annie spotted a downed stop sign sitting in the ditch... Clarice joked we should stop and pick it up, but we didn't.
Jonathan arrived sometime later that evening early morning... around 1:30am I awoke to some loud giggling. Since I had to work the next day, I got up to tell the kids to be a little more quiet... I walked in to find Jonathan, Matt and Zachary all giggling about their adventure of fetching the downed stop sign - they directed my attention to the back yard where perched against the fence was the sign, post and about 50 lbs of attached concrete. My initial thought was oh boy, this is not good, who is going to jail!!
Within hours of the stop signs arrival good things started to fall upon us: Matthew got a job offer post college graduation, Annie got her dream retail job, Jonathan made a connection with a production manager in Hollywood and got a lead to be a personal assistant to a famous director and William's cheer team won a National Title. I'm a little worried about what may come should anyone find out about my kids adventure - guess that is the parent in me, but for now we are all enjoying the luck of what has happened since the stop sign found its way into our backyard.
