MARINES

one day we did an air force museum so we thought we weren' to far from parris island where they train the marines so why not go to their museum...so off we went...it started way before the ccivil war and had lots of stuff to read some of it we have seen in other museums but not the less we spent way over 2 hrs looking-reading-walking-stuff...funny thing about the base was we saw very little activity...maybe they were all in taking naps or something...on our way out we did see a  few..

now for the best part of the day we went out to lunch and spoke to the waiter several times and had conversations with him..lar asked about  fried ice cream and the young man (jash) said yes they had it so lar's eyes lite up..oh i will have one when i am done...so we ate our lunch oh it was mexican...then came the dessert and of course after that came the bill..we looked at it and he had not charge us for the ice cream we made it a point to let him know...he answer was oh it is on the house ..so off we went to the cahsier who was the young man...we gave him out bill and credit card to pay and all he did was rip it up and said have a nice day...our  reaction was oh no we need to pay for it and again he said NO...we relented to not paying the bill (lar went back to the table and left a bigger tip) and when we go to the truck we think a PAY IT FORWARD  had been done...it is funny to be on the other side of a pay it forward...we have done that several times to others but have not ever recived it...we usually do it at a mcdonalds when we are getting an ice cream ok someting like that...while in bolixi and we stopped for lar favorite Krispy Kreme he gave every one there a tip so for the heck of it  i guess a pay it forward...what a nice feeling it is to be treated and of course out of the blue...god sure works in different ways...god bless
