Today we are going on a tour of the Lexington battleship. We have driven close to it and have counted 12 or more airplanes on it on the top deck. There will be lots of climbing of ladder stairs. Peggy has a very sore knee so she may not be able to climb many of them. She may have to have surgery in Tulsa after seeing her specialist On the 20 of Dec. We will be meeting my Mom at the airport she will be with us for Christmas, we will bring her back to Corpus Christi for a visit till mid January.
I am missing my kids so very much, The outing today will help to cheer me up I hope. We will be having Christmas with Peggy`s kids on the 23 and travel back to Corpus on 25.

We are back from the Lexington had a wonderful day. We climbed steep ladder type stairs and toured this large ship. Very interestings , it made me feel very sentimental. The bunks the sailors slept are like boxes upon boxes in long rows, no privacy at all. It had a up to date hospital, with modern equipment to operate and fix the wounded , dentist chairs they did root canals,etc. and barber shops.
This ship is now a museum. And is anchoured on the bottom of the bay , so it does not float or move. It took us 3 hours to tour it and did not see all of it., 3/4 hour film of what the ship did in war time and what the planes lifting off the ship did. It makes you so proud of the people that gave their lives to make North America safe from the enemy.
Well my knees and leg muscles are sore this evening. I will need to get into the hot tub to sooth my aching muscles.
