SIGNS

We live in a rural area with lots of log houses, vacation homes, and rental get-a-way cabins. We hadn’t lived here long before noticing that many of the folks had named their homesteads and placed signs at their driveways. Of course, we wanted to be a part of the local trend and right away, began thinking of a name of our own. We tried most everything we could think of but didn’t like any of it for one reason or another. Here’s a few from around the county. Some of these signs are very nice and must have been expensive. We weren’t willing to spend big money on any sign we were to come up with. In fact, we spent $0.00. (That’s a big dollar sign right there!) We liked this one, ….. because of the rust. And what a hill it is, very steep. Some are simple and to the point like this one about 3 miles from our house. This one is huge!! Around the corner from us. This one’s for sale. Big house, nice pond. This house came with a long range view as the sign states. So I’m about to show you what we came up with after mulling it over for more than 2 years. It’s not much, and not very sophisticated, but until another idea comes along, here it is. Jane did the painting of course. I picked up a limb from out of the woods, a scrap of treated 1x4, and the trunk of a small tree I had cut down last year. And there you go. Welcome to Mossy Point Cabin.
