More guys

Charlie, Vickey, me and Sue. My favorite part!  Shopping at the MCX...It was like a luxury department store.  We got great deals because a marine on base that was in line behind us let us use his military card.  Vickey had one we could have used, but we couldn't see her so right away he offered.  So nice.  

Charlie, Vickey, Sue and Bill.  Bill sure enjoyed himself lots in there too.

 I absolutely love the rug Jared and Kimmy made from Della's wool.  It is beautiful and they are amazing and very talented!!!

We sat around in the morning and drank our coffee and visited.  At 10 am we went to IHop’s For breakfast.  It was packed and there was a ten minute wait.  The food was great.  After that we went to the Marine Command Center.  Vikki had her card and they let us right on the base.  We were looking for the Marine museum but they moved it to Parris Island so we went there next.  They let us right on the base with just her card there too.  We were all surprised because when we tried to go with Christopher and get on his base, we couldn’t just go with him.  We had to go through filling out a long form and show our license ang giving our SS number.  Then they called in to check everything.  It took so long that we didn’t go.  We really enjoyed the base.  We went in to the mart and it was like Koles , Penney’s and MACY’s put together.  We found some good deals.  Bill loved it in there.  Me too.  We went to the museum afterward.  There were so many young soldiers in it looking at the displays.  They were so kind and respectful to us, always letting us go first and saying excuse me.  Young guys would tell the others to let us go first.  Vickey, Sue and I sat on a bench waiting for the guys and lots of soldiers came upstairs and walked by us sayin good afternoon ladies.
Quite impressive seeing all the respect.  We drove around the base.  It was very nice.  Went out for homemade ice cream after that. Went to Walmart and then stopped to pick up pizza for dinner.  Came back and ate.  Took Zexter for a walk.  I did my blog while Charlie, Sue, Bill and Vickey played Euchre.  I wanted to catch up on my blog.
