Saturday was kinda buzy. Jarrett, Chase and I

went up to Ft. Myers to the scout shop because he needed new scout pants for an event later that night. On the way back we stopped at Best Buy and Bass Pro Shops. We caught some cute pictures of Chase wrangling an alligator. It would be an odd day if we didn't see real alligators everyday in the various canals and lakes we have down here. Also at Bass Pro they have the crosswalk that goes to the parking lot made out of fish instead of lines. Yes Chase is a daredevil sitting in the middle of the road. It was for just a second and I'm sure that hue truck did not run over him on purpose. just kidding...
Next we have just a couple of pics from the Scout event that Jarrett went to. It was the travelling Vietnam Vetern Was memorial wall. I had not seen it before and I must say it is a very moving thing to see. Our boy scout troop did the candle light ceromony part with some girl scouts. I havn't figured out how to take pics at night so the one of the whole wall did not come out but I did get this one and ...
I found my moms cousin Anthony P. Palumbo who died in 1969 when he was 20 years old after he had been in Vietnam for over a year. You can see his name in the middle. During the ceremony we learned there are 58,000 names on the wall and they are listed in the order that they past away. I seen men sobbing and there were teddy bears and flowers and pictures left as small memorials. If you ever get a chance to see it, I would recomend it highly.
I know that I am sending a letter to my brother tomorrow for sure. He's given so much for me, and I don't think my one letter is enough, but I also know that he appreciates hearing from his sis. He has been in Afghanistan since January, but I think I may have mentioned that before.
Hope ya'll had a great weekend.
P.S. I had an interview for a part time job but I didn't get the position. I am still looking and not loosing hope...
