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.

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!
