Museum in Germantown and Porch Roof

My memory isn’t what it used to be.  I forgot to tell about where we went last Saturday.  While riding around looking at paint colors on houses, Lory and I stopped by the museum in Germantown. http://veteransmuseumgermantown.org/

It is in an old building with an interesting history, once was a tobacco barn, then a Masonic building.  Now it houses everything from dresses made from parachute material to models of military equipment.  It is a work in progress.  The first floor is mostly WWII.  Upstairs is going to be Korea and Vietnam. 

It is a great place for school trips and for young people to learn about what other generations have done for our freedom.

Several veterans are working on it and doing a great job. 

Yesterday I called a man who had been suggested to me to fix up my front porch roof.  It needs a lot of repair.  He told me to measure it and call him with the numbers and he could give me a quote over the phone.  Then he said he was cheap because his workers were from Ecuador and probably didn’t have green cards.

Do I want to support these illegal workers?  No, not really.  I don’t mind doing business “under the table”.  That is paying them so they don’t have to report it on their income tax. 

So I have called around and have received a quote on painting the house.  I didn’t gulp too hard at the quote.  He says he knows people who can fix the porch roof also.   Will those people be citizens of our great country?  I hope so.

Later….
