Good day one and all! I just got hold of a working computer here in Mississippi while Eugene and I "Camp Sit" here at Camp Sister Spirit in lovely Ovett and just wanted to let ya'll know we arrived safe and sound with our hounds.
It's been an adventure from the start... introducing our four hounds to a pack of 7 that reside at the camp along with 6 cats, 4 goats and Circe, the camp mascot who is a 400 pound full grown sow (who was supposed to be a pot bellied pig and is not - LOL)!
We had a freeze warning and been tending to the critters and fauna on the lovely 120 acres while our friends who run the place are tending to a family crisis in Arkansas. I do note bode well with the cold but am thankful to spend some time with my hunny in a beautiful environment even with the crisp chill and blue extremeties.
We have been working hard to help fix up the place which still has some damage after Katrina and even had the opportunity to do some archaeological work on the grounds as well as my first official "dig" with Eugene's old professor and comrads at Camp Shelby in which we unearthed the first find at one particular site which we found flakes and what looks to be an old hearth site about 30 centimeters below the surface and many artifacts of what appears to be about 5,000 years old. Beginners luck I suppose and a wonderful experience I was happy to get dirty doing.
We have been missing our dear friends on Fubar and may be home pending circumstances either on Tuesday or after Thanksgiving so I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful weekend, and joyous Thanksgiving just in case we are not able to check in until our return.
Many thanks for the wonderful comments and my apologies if I missed anyones birthday or special events as it's been a lot of hard but enjoyable work and I feel wonderful being able to help our friends in need. Not much time to spend on a computer when you are physically exhausted and well grounded in nature's bounty.
Oh well, the pack of hounds are going off and it's time to feed the goats. Will keep you in my thoughts and catch up again soon! Much love to all! {{{Hugs}}}
