So a few days ago Guy calls me to tell me we have a new visitor who looks like he is going to stay for a while and he sends me this picture. Yes this young man/lady has learned to leap from the porch to the finch feeder, turn upside down so as to hold on and enjoy a tasty meal.He is so comfortable that I was able to walk all the way up to the window and video him.
The feeder, it gets moved ASAP says Guy.
Here is a video of what the resort travel trailer lots are like. There were row after row of campers, definitely several hundred throughout the entire grounds. Everyone we met was so nice and welcoming, it was like meeting lots of old friends.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gro4ToYk8_Iand a few of the permanent trailer/homes. I love the amount of detail and fun folks put into decorating themhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pz46PHkS9wI can’t wait to be able to use the camper again soon. Such fun!
We spent part of our Memorial Day weekend at the National Marine Corp Museum in Quantico VA.Quantico is almost like home to us in so many ways. I am a Marine Corp brat. My dad was assigned to Quantico in the late 60’s so I actually lived on base (Thomason Park baby) for a few years, attended first and second grade at Quantico Elementary school and then as a teenager spent lots of time at the Officers pool and then the Officers club in my 20’s.Guy knows the base inside and out having worked on many projects there when he was in Sheet Metal including at one time a project manager at the National Marine Corp museum.We were there because Guy’s daughter Shelby was invited to perform at the Memorial Day concerts. She was one of only 5 HS Seniors invited to perform so it was a huge honor for her. Before it started we spend about an hour walking around and didn’t even start to see everything that is on display. We will definitely be returning this spring to visit and learn more. Entrance to the Museum
