Vinylguy 4,674 #1 Posted July 1, 2014 Once again I would like to thank everyone for your support and friendship. As some of you who made it to the BIG BIG Show already know, Lola was unable to be with me this year. Her Dad, Earl has been quite ill for the past year. He is a great guy, whom also loved his garden tractors, though they were a bit of a different color. He has been in the hospital for three weeks and will be moved to a care facility soon. He is terminal and wishes no feeding tubes or the like but he is also a fighter and has put up the good fight. Lola is very close with her Dad and Mom and it has been very tough on her so please accept my sincere thanks for your patience with us during this incredibly difficult time. We are finishing up most of the orders from the show as well as many orders placed on line while I was in PA, and will be shipping them all out the next two days. The clocks will be done next and ship as soon as possible. I can tell you this, I have been spoiled having Lola doing all the work she does keeping orders straight and making sure my production list is right. Making boxes, printing labels, keeping me on target. I feel like an ONAN running on one Cylinder when she is not here. Thanks again for your support. A special thanks to my Big show neighbors Dave (Fun Engineer) Mr. and especially Mrs. Steveasaurus, and My ole Buddy B-100 Bob. I could not have made it through the show without your help and support. Watching my stuff when Lola needed to talk, or I simply needed a break. A shout out to Neil and Carolyn. Awesome folks from Far Far Away. HMMM Isn't that where Shrek lives? Really enjoyed meeting you both. Next year we hope will be different and we will both be able to join the informal RS camp fire meeting on Thursday night. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Redo 44 #12 Posted July 5, 2014 I wanted to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who helped Terry at the big show in PA. Thank you for all the prayers from so many, my family and I deeply appreciate all of you. My dad is currently holding his own, he has good and bad days. He is the greatest man in the world, I have been very blessed to have him as my dad, he will be 82 in Oct. We take everyday as a blessing. Everyday that I can hold his hand and tell him how much I love him is a gift..... You are all the greatest people, I haven't got to meet a lot of you. Maybe I will get to meet you next year at the big show. I know we have a tough road ahead of us. But with all the prayers from so many wonderful people I know we can get through it. God Bless everyone of you!!!!! Lola Dennis & Family 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,299 #13 Posted July 6, 2014 Lola and Dennis, if there's anything we can do for you please just ask. You both have given so freely to all of us, we'd be honored to give in return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
