~The FReeper Canteen Presents~

Veterans Day, November 11, 2014

Thank You for placing yourself between us and danger.

Thank you to your sons and daughters, children who accept your absence in their life and understand they share you with the nation and sometimes the whole world.

Thank you to all the parents of our Soldiers and Veterans who have nothing but prayers to protect their child and keep them safe in bad times, and must now trust you will be safe, and that we offer our prayers to you.

Thank you for serving and giving a heroic example of who we are and what we can dream to be.

Thank you for your spouses who find themselves living a very nomadic life, often far away from the support of your loved ones from your family.

Thank you for continuing to support your country once you leave military service by following new careers and becoming teachers, clergy, business owners, employees, pilots, civil servants and so much more.

We are proud of the service you are giving and have given to protect us and our Country, and proud to say you Thank You.

Married life is peachy, The Bride and I are headed out this weekend for another Bardic Weekend - me and my dulcimer will be performing at Bardic Circle and doing the wandering troubadour thing all over the camp.

The Bride is a crafty little thing - weaving, painting, embroidery and making our garb for the event. I married good!

WOW that is good news! You are playing a dulcimer, fantastic!
I love their sound.

Do you speak the Old English at these gatherings?
Have you heard of a stringed instrument named Kantele? It is a Finnish instrument, captivating — it sounds like bells or chimes.

My persona/character is French, but I’ve been known to sing with a mean Highland burr...

I’ve heard OF the kantele, but never seen one.
