This day started early, with a wake-up call from the sign man at 6 a.m. (Is there really a 6 o'clock in the morning, too?) They had arrived, and it was time to put up the 12-foot x 12-foot vinyl sign that erases the final print evidence of the past at the park.
Earlier in the week the electric company had come out to shield the line, preventing any problems with electricity jumping from the line to the worker installing the nearby sign. We emerged from the house droopy-eyed, camera in hand, bringing the entire family of beagles with us.
Peaches, our model for the photograph on the sign, didn't appear to be at all excited about seeing her image 20 feet in the air. She just preferred to take a nap under one of our many picnic tables.But we were excited.
In about an hour, the sign was up and the workers were on their way. But their work will be visible for years to come. So as you pass by on Interstate 44, take a peek over to the park to see the prettiest sign on the block.
