Well, the Blogging Challenge is winding down. It has been a wild and wacky challenge for me.
Through the month I have provided readers with a wide variety of wonderful signs which I wandered upon during the year. As I do with all of my posts, I try to be witty and wry in my presentation. I hope that I have brought out the wanderlust in my readers as well. This post will be all about Welcome Signs. Please now enjoy my special edition of W Signs from my travels over the years. Enjoy the Read. Enjoy the Ride.
Welcome Signs Everywhere!

Here are just a few of the dozens and dozens have wandered upon in my travels. This post features welcome signs taken from 2005 to present. Want everyone to feel Welcome.

That’s a lot of Welcome! I like the one with the windmill.
Always nice to feel welcome
Are you familiar with the Irish phrase “cead mile failte” which means “a hundred thousand welcomes?” I didn’t count, but I think you got close!
Maybe 50? But I probably have about 1000 of them!!
Wow, a lot of Welcome signs 😉 I know some of them, great to see them again! X = X & +
