Oh, I forgot to let you know ...... I know you sometimes check out the museum’s FB page and there should be a few pix posted from the TN Maneuvers event they participated in today. I hope they didn’t have rain up there today to ruin the fun.
I bet you are excitedly awaiting a first hand report. 😀
The humidity there will probably make your 90s and high 80s as uncomfortable as our 100s. i’m ready for fall already!
I’ll bet your green wall is well on its way to being made!
I am! I’ll email a couple of them tomorrow to ask for a few pix they took. One of them sent a shot to Mark on his phone this afternoon and he showed it to me. No rain at that time and they were all smiles. They looked so cool, all in period dress.
Next weekend, I’ll get to hear a lot more about it at the museum.
And this...not military, but very cool...
It won’t feel quite like 100 but it’ll be sticky and uncomfortable enough. I don’t plan to get out much next week and will do grocery shopping in the evening. No point in sweating any more than necessary. :-)
Wow! I didn’t you were going to post some. These are cool!
I wonder whose bike that is in the first shot. That’s sweet! Wish we had one at the museum.
The second shot must be one of the re-enactment groups that was there.
The third one is Boss Man’s 1944 Dodge 3/4 ton WC. It was his father’s and hadn’t run for several years. Boss Man spent 3 years working on it and it runs like a top now.
Yep, the last shot definitely not military but that’s what home looked like back in the day. Pretty cool.
So glad to see the pretty weather! I fretted about it quite a bit today.
Glad you enjoyed them. There were so many, I hardly knew where to start! Did the rest of you have a good amount of guests at the museum?
It sounds like they had a bigger turnout this time compared to the event last fall and there was a lot to take pics of. I can’t wait to hear about it next weekend. Thanks for posting the pics.
There were only two of us to work at the museum and fortunately we weren’t overwhelmed. It was a pretty day and people apparently made up for the lack of outside activities last weekend when it was so cold and nasty. But we had a good time with those who did stop by.
We figured we’d be out of there right at closing time but then got a nice surprise. Just before closing, a woman came in with three veterans she’d driven up from AL to see the museum. One, a WWII vet who fought at the Battle of the Bulge, one a WWII and Korea War vet and the third, a Korea and Vietnam Wars vet. Mark took them through and I tagged along to hear what they had to say, any stories they had to tell. No way I was missing out on that! LOL
So even though Mark and I missed out on the fun at Carthage, we had a great day after all.
I felt bad about being two hours late dosing Bella, though, but she got through ok.
I’ll jump on it. :-)
Oh, my goodness! Did you get a picture of those vets from 3 generations of our soldiers? What a way to end the day. I’m sure Bella wouldn’t have minded had she understood. And I’m glad she was ok.
I guess I’d better finish this show and head out for realz. I dread that 7:30 wake up alarm. See ya tomorrow night!
No, unfortunately I didn’t get any pics. I didn’t take my camera today because I thought we’d be busy. I need to make a point of taking it every day, just in case.
The woman who drove them there is with some organization and she had several calendars with her, titled “Heartthrob Heroes”. But instead of hunky firemen and such, the photos are all veterans. The 2020 calendar is all WWII vets. 2021 and 2022 are WWII through Vietnam. All three of these veterans are in the calendars so I at least have their photos that way.
They put these calendars out each year as a fundraiser to help vets. They’re really cool. It was nice of her to bring some for us to each have them.
Bella was more than ready for her meds and it took a little longer for their full effects but she’s fine.
You’d better be finished with that show by now and fast asleep. I feel sorry for your alarm clock. LOL
How's everyone doing this morning?
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Have you and Gizmo had to contend with nasty weather the past couple of days?
You got lucky yesterday. A beautiful day and didn’t have to share the lake with a crowd. Enjoy that while you can. You know it won’t last much longer. :-)
Yesterday was hot, and I did some riding.
Today it is overcast and rainy...the recital may have to be postpoed.
Memory Eternal!

By Your divine intercession, O Lord, / as You raised up the paralytic of old, / so raise up my soul, paralyzed by sins and thoughtless acts; / so that being saved I may sing to You: / “Glory to Your power, O compassionate Christ!”
Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) Weather is warm and will be hot by next weekend; partly cloudy and wind will be picking up. I’ll be here for two weeks. Accommodations are neat, lots of interesting stuff around, pretty good eateries.
