Saving...
the dust around. All fixed up now. Oh yes, my one lamp came a couple of days ago. It really works swell. Did you try one of them? It is exactly like this other kids. Sure glad the seashells got there ok. That place is near St Nazaire mom. Its a little resort town. As for the parachute, it was one we fired from our mortars. The shell is timed and bursts in the air. They were 110,000 candle power so they really put out a light. Used to spot enemy patrols etc. I've looked for seashells here mom, but they are exactly like the ones I already sent. I didn't think you would want more of them. Keep wondering how long it will be until I'm an Uncle.
