Hello, this is as usual a jumbled up mess, just when I think I've got it, I dun't! In the "girls" room was also this "ahem"bathtub??????? To me it was just another glorified Hiney washer, but a bit larger, you could sit on the flat part and put your feet or "whatever" in the little hole, so you needed to wash the rest of you before you washed your "whatever", then just under the flat spot was sort of a drain area. Who~Boy am I glad I've got my shower, I would need a much smaller "whatever" than they had in those days!! When we pulled into the parking lot of the Fort, we saw the above vehicle, it was from Germany, and it was a camper, looks like ole Hitler his-self came to check out Fort Davis!!






Here you have the Parlor, you put them there until you are properly attired to receive guests! YA RIGHT!!



Now lets feed 'em, this was absolutely a commanding officers dinner table, the china was gold rimmed, and just look at those goblets!! Pretty, huh?
























Hello ya'll, I promised to fill you in on our trip to Fort Davis, and I do believe we got as far as the Commanding Officers House, so here we start! This is the bedroom, and of course the "Pram" that would have been used for babies, I told you that the Fort was never attacked, (these folks had it easy), so there was plenty of time to walk the Young-uns!

This room was the "family only" room, you can see the loom, and the rocking chair, over in the corner was an ironing board, etc! Guess you could call it a "Girls room". Then of course you have the Living room where you entertain your guests, 'specially if they are visiting dignitary's!

Hope you can figure out all this, I know it is small, but they keep us pretty busy down here running around, and it makes a body tared, if ya know what I mean. Have been to Mexico, got a tooth fixed, and going again on Friday just for fun. Things are never as bad as you read in the paper or see on TV, ya just have to watch your P's & Q's! Oh here is a funny for ya. Went to Mexico on Monday, Carol ask if we would pick her up $200 worth of Prilosec, we took the money and said "Hokay", not realizing that was 37 bottles!!! Got ready to walk back over the border, the guard says, "What is in the sacks?" Bill says "medicine", "Why so much?" says the Guard, "We are buying for other people" says Bill, "YA CAN'T DO THAT!, but I feel benevolent today, just don't try it again or you'll not get back into the US!!" WHEW, talk about scary, but we found out that isn't true, they can make their own rules to suit themselves. No matter, we were very glad to get our feet back on US soil!
Well that's all for tonight folks, but we want you to know we think of you often, and would have even in a Mexican jail!! "Shudder"!! Love, Prayers and Smiles, Arlette & Bill too, and the Sassy
