Saturday at lunch time we were surprised by a phone call from Rita informing us Sam Caldwell, the flag pole man, was at our place to install the flag pole-stubs. Sam had gotten ill when he made the poles and was unable to finish the job installing the pole-stubs. Rita had called him early Saturday morning to discuss the steps we needed to take to install the poles ourselves. During their conversation Sam said his daughter and son-in-law would be happy to install the poles for us while he supervised. We quickly went over to the property to see how we could lend a hand and found his family already mixing cement and pouring it into the holes. They were fast. In no time the first stub was in and they were onto the next one. We wrote our family names on the cement rings, dedicated each one to our little pets, Elmo, Ginger and Blue Boy. Then we all put our hand prints in the cement too. Paul has been busy contacting people today who might have the equipment to lift the poles into the holes.
