It rained overnight and was still raining when we got up this morning. We ate breakfast, packed up, and then headed over to the museum so we could be there when it opened. There were several large tour groups also visiting it today. Since we explored the first two-thirds yesterday, we were able to move quickly to our stopping point from yesterday and not be caught in the larger crowds of people. It took us almost 2 1/2 hours to reach the end of the Pacific War story.

We then looked at another exhibit entitled "Face to Face" which is a cultural and visual art project. Three sculptors sought out WWII vets and asked them to pose. The vets were also asked about their war experiences and to provide a photo of themselves when they served their country. The artists worked with each vet for approximately 3 hours taking many photographs and working up a rough bust. I counted 23 busts on display--they are hoping to do 100. These men and women won't be with us much longer and soon there will be no one left to talk about what they did and how they served their country. In the museum they had displays of the vets sharing their war experiences--a "living history". I have posted a couple of photos from the "Face to Face" exhibit.



When we left the museum, the sky was starting to clear off and it was rather hot and humid. Since it was past lunch time, we stopped at Mac Donald's for a quick bite to eat before heading home. We took a different route back to Fort Clark which took us through some beautiful Hill Country. Many of the trees are just about in full leaf and everything is nice and green. We also saw some beautiful displays of wildflowers.

I was excited to see the new golf clubs I ordered sitting outside the door when we got home. I can't wait to try them out. After unloading the car and unpacking the golf clubs, we took a golf cart ride over to Unit 37 to visit with Dave, Valada and Ralph. Ralph was concerned when he hadn't see us for a few days and had even called us while we were eating lunch today to ask where we were--so we thought we should check in and let him know all is well. It's nice to be missed!

John and I were a little tired this evening, so we just stayed home and watched a movie. Hopefully tomorrow the new clubs will get tested.
