Morning PE. Sounds like the type of backyard/garage project you and RA would get into. :-)

Subsequently designated the 17th Lancers, this regiment rode in the center of the first line of the "Charge of the Light Brigade" at Balaclava.

Thanks CholeraJoe, learned something new again today.

1945 Adolf Hitler marries Eva Braun

One of the shortest marriages on record until Britney Spears tried marriage.

Good morning Feather.

What an awful mess this battle was. Good read, thanks Sam.

Good morning EGC.

Good morning Tax-chick. So you're in Waxhaw country. Neat, a story from your own backyard! Do you know if they teach about it locally in the schools?

[snippy_about_it]

I sent the heatwave your way. LOL. Get out and enjoy it!

[snippy_about_it]

Cool! Seems to me the prize money would have to pay back the investment, this has got to be expensive. I realize though it must be the point. ;-)

Good morning CJ. Thanks for the information on the Lancers. I like the logo.

[Valin]

I wonder where they were registered at?

1553 Flemish woman introduces practice of starching linen into England

Aha! So it was all her fault. Did they have irons back then?

Good morning feather.

Thank you Snippy for all you've done over this last year.

Awwww. It's not nice to make your parnter cry. This was very sweet of you, thanks.

I am just as thrilled today as I was over a year ago about working in the Foxhole. I love the history, our mission and what you've created here and glad I can help. Like you, I know we couldn't do it without the support of our readers. I do think of us all as a family and I'm very proud of the Foxhole and happy to be a part of it.

We've become great friends and that is just icing on the cake. Speaking of cake, do I get an anniversary cake? Cookie? ;-)

[Tax-chick]

I don't know what they teach in the schools here, but I'm sure North Carolina history says Andy Jackson was born over there by the riding stable, while South Carolina history says he was born in that State! It's one of those unsolved mysteries ... his mother was staying with one of her two sisters when A.J. was born, but the letters don't make it clear which one it was, and I recall one of the SC Freepers said the border hadn't been surveyed then anyway.

We hope to make a trip this year to the local Revolutionary War sites this year. Much more interesting battlefields around here, compared to Oklahoma!

[SAMWolf]

I don't know, but I know I couldn't afford to shop there.

[SAMWolf]

I'll bake one up sometime today. I make a pretty decent cake. Any preference?

Lt. Colonel Banastre Tarleton

He looks like a comlete "dandy".

[SAMWolf]

I think Kerry's face would fit on that picture just about right. :-)
