Many of YOU know that my home site where I started off is CustomMaqnums.com and have over 21,000 posts. Anyhow over the years I've been on there I have had the pleasure of meeting some FANTASTIC folks and many (LIKE HERE), really feel like FAMILY. Wife Tee and I have met, on several occasions, GreenKing from Eldorado, Kansas; met him in Orlando Florida at the Mopar ShowOFF, met again in Baltimore MD at a Forum Picnic; HE Flew in and Tee and I went to the Airport in Balitmore and picked him up and took him back after the day was over.

Anyhow he has flown to Jacksonville Florida to get his MOM and drive back to Kansas and he called and IS coming to our Town tonight, spend the night in a hotel and meet with us in the morning. NOW, this IS pretty far out of his way! How VERY thoughtful of HIM to go out of HIS way just to visit with Tee and I.

Needless to say we are ESTACTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW cool is THAT?????????????

ONE DAY hoping to meet many more SEM FAMILY members!!!

It is amazing how people become close to one another. Sometimes our friends are closer to us than our families. I know how special it is to see your friend. Have a great time and enjoy the blessings of friendship.

Speaking of which.... when we first met Paul and Terri on the forum at a Car Show and invited them to our home so we could do some mods together we really hit it off. And..... sometimes when you meet folks it seems like you have know them all your life. IT IS this way with Paul, Terri, Tee and I. NOW.... we really feel like BROTHERS and YOU'LL probably notice WE always referr to each as BROTHERS. We meet up whenever we can and NOT just for car shows or cruises.... we just love Hangin' out!

Love ya my BROTHER!!!!

GreenKing (Ross) and his MOM showed up in our driveway this morning at 8:30 am and we spent a good time of the morning looking at our cars, our collectables and just chattin'. We went out to our "Out building" where we have a game room of sorts and had Ross and his MOM toss some darts and sign our guest board ~ kind of a tradition we have. Board is getting FULL.

Here is GreenKing and MOM signature on our board...

We then headed to South Charlotte to Concussions' house, chatted there, had a nice brunch and had a wonderful time. We got to see Concussions twin boys for the first time ~ they are six months old now and a joy to see. Great little babies and we held them and they never fussed. Also there other son Wyatt, really had a great time with us too.
