This is the 2nd part of my mini adventure of driving home with three 4″x4″ (by 12′) posts.  Click here to see first leg of the adventure.

So, I am driving along, so deep into a residential area I am a little disoriented but enjoying the slow drive to the hilt.  I round a slow corner and see such a sight, it almost seems like  mirage.  There, on the corner, facing me are three little girls.  One of them held a large, specialized balloon.  They looked as though they are waiting to welcome someone home but for a moment, it feels as though they are standing there just for me.  The middle girl raised her hand and waves.  I waved back.  It was a wonderful, surreal moment.  As I drove past, I was filled with wonder and curiosity.  I turned onto the next street when I realized what an amazing moment I just experienced.  I found myself wanting to go back for seconds.  And I did!  I wheeled around my wife’s SUV with an extra three feet of 4×4 post sticking out the back, making a U-turn to return to the corner.  I almost expected the mirage to be gone, but there they were.  I asked if I could take a picture and the result is what you see in this post.  I savored their smiles then waved and smiled goodbye and went on to the next part of my adventure with a song in my heart.
