Bill...So much fun having him show me things he used in Vietnam. Radio telephones he used were super heavy. One of them I couldn't even pick up with one hand.

Bill used to drive a jeep like this one in Vietnam
Bill used to shoot a M'16 like the top one in the picture
This is Sammy Davis, the Medal of Honor recipient that was the speaker there. He had an amazing testimony, so I took a picture of it
Bill showing me pj's they wore in Vietnam
Bill in a jeep like the one he had in Vietnam. It took some effort to get in it with his knee replacements and also some effort to get out of it, but he did it.
Our generator ran out of gas so it was a little cool when we got up. The fireplace was out, so we turned the furnace on. It warmed up pretty fast. Bill got the generator going again. We read our Bibles and then went to breakfast. We ate outside. The Tim Ministry served pancakes, crispy bacon and ham. After breakfast, we went to Walmart so Bill could get a funnel. We also found Scott RV toilet paper that is super good. We came back and walked around for a while and went through the vendor tent. After that, we had lunch. We walked through the Vietnam traveling museum. It was so interesting having Bill show me things he used and explaining what he did with them. So much fun! I called Lela (Jared's mom) to see if we could come visit them for an outside visit. She said they were going to be home and told us to come. We got there and Lela was gone taking Noah home, so we visited out on the patio with Doug for a while. Lela got there and we visited more. Then we walked through their amazing yard with all the beautiful plants and flowers. It was so much fun. We got to taste some Anise which tastes like licorice. I am going to plant some of that! Lela certainly has a green thumb. She wanted to show us all of the beautiful work Kimmy and Jared have done in their house. We had seen pictures, but it was so nice to see it in person. They certainly did a great job! She took us to her sewing room and we couldn't believe how many face masks she had in there. She was so sweet and gave us each two, plus one for Charlie. They are really nice because they go around your head, not just over your ears. She has made so many beautiful ones. We enjoyed seeing pictures of Jared and Eric when they were little. We sure loved our visit with them! They are such nice people. No wonder Jared is such a nice guy! Sure glad we have him in our family!
