Lord,
Keep our Troops forever in Your care
Give them victory over the enemy...
Grant them a safe and swift return...
Bless those who mourn the lost. .
FReepers from the Foxhole join in prayer for all those serving their country at this time.

U.S. Military History, Current Events and Veterans Issues
Where Duty, Honor and Country are acknowledged, affirmed and commemorated.
|
Our Mission: The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans. In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support. The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer. If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions. We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

Georgia on our mind
So here we are, in the Deep South, Ochlocknee, Georgia...almost.
We aren't in any city, but Ochlocknee is our post office. It's a short pleasant 10 mile country drive to the grocery and the town of Thomasville.
We like it out here in the country and this time we plan to stay put for a while, Lord willing and the creek don't rise or the saints... and all that.
Direct TV isn't bad at all, although admittedly we rarely watch tv.
Dial-up internet is painfully slow.
The dogs are good. We have a decent amount of yard fenced off for them with a temporary farm fence. Miss Scarlett loves to chase the bugs out here and on the land behind us lives a young female "Sarge look-alike" named Miss Tilley.
Sarge just sits and pines away for her. I'm pretty sure she thinks he's a handsome fella.
Sarge, flirting with Miss Tilley
We have poisonous toads here and we have to watch the dogs carefully at dawn and dusk. They think it's fun to play with the toads.
Miss feather, we have lots of dragonflies, they like to tease the dogs. It's like they know the dogs can't catch them.
We have all kinds of birds, Sam saw a pileated woodpecker a couple days ago, I'm jealous!. We have blue jays and cardinals, warblers and finches and a few different woodpeckers. Roosters crow in the early morning and the woods yield lots of strange sounds at night.
The sky is quite beautiful out here, you can see more than you can in the cities and suburbs. It's like camping out only with a house instead of a tent.
Oh yeah, somewhere between Oregon, North Carolina and Georgia, we got married to each other...in Florida. :-)
We can open burn out here. (note to samwise: with permits!)
The past two Saturdays we spent the entire day watching our burn pile burn. Sam has done such a fine job of clearing the land that we have plenty more to burn when the days are good for it. It's a great way to relax.
Gnats, they are horrible at certain times of the day. The road system is good and the people in the nearby towns are what we find here typically, nice southern polite folks.
We're mostly settled in and hopefully a time will come when we will be able to fence the entire acre in and the dogs can have free roam of the place, that'll be nice.
We wish we could be online more but there is a lot to do and I'm away about 11 hours a day during the week commuting to Tallahassee and Sam is always busy with the chores. And did I mention, dial-up is awful?
All in all, we're blessed and truly enjoying ourselves, the house, the dogs and the area. Now that the humidity of summer is over the weather is quite pleasant.
I'd love to share more pictures with you but in case you missed it, dial-up is awful to work with and we can only be on-line one computer at a time.

Dear friends,
I am overjoyed with happiness for you and revel in your joy!
May God Bless you both richly.
Keep an eye on those dragonflies for me, snippy. Please make sure Sarge and Ms. Scarlet don't have them for snacks.

WELCOME to the real South. It sounds like there is an awful lot of contentment in your life now. Bless your hearts. :-)Thanks Humal, like the song says, "Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this" :-)

All the best to you. The smarter half here spent her earlier years on St. Simon's Island and apparently at its peak one could walk on the humidity back to the mainland.
We left North Mexico and rediscovered that America where the flag is displayed with pride.
Here's to all positive karma redounding to your union for your tireless toil telling the tale of the nation's defenders.

LOL! I did something like that in NC, only I was pouring concrete into molds to make the pathways. One 80 lb bag at a time for about 2' x 2' section. Probably started me on my weight loss "program"

Hi FRiend!!
So good to see you and snippy on line again.
You two have been sorely missed!
Okay, you and snippy can make room for me next fall. I can't come this year, already did my big trip thing, Las Vegas in July! OMG, Sam I did it and didn't gamble one dime.
I did love the hot dry air, it was 104F when I was there.
I didn't win any prizes this year, ;( and it's okay.

How does anyone go to Vegas and not gamble??????
There's always next year for prozes. :-)
Snippy and I actually have a FOxhole Thread started but then Real life intruded and now with dial up finishing it could get unpleasant. But we will get it done.
