southern cause

Howdy all...This post is brought to you from the Boonsboro Library again, a frequent and favorite destination of ours. We're really gonna miss this facility when we leave soon. It's a great place to while away some quality time, and learn things in the process.

Speaking of learning things, we now have a change of plan.

( RV'ers often have changes in plans......) The Delaware gig is being put off for this season. In the process of looking to the winter season, an opportunity arose in one of our pre-ferred destinations that we can't pass up. The genteel city of Savannah, Ga. is calling our names. We've always been intrigued by its' many allures, having even previously con-

sidered it as a place to put down stakes sometime in the future. So, we jumped at the chance to work camp there, at a private park called Red Gate Farm. It's close to town, and has many of the amenities that we'll really appreciate.

Among those would be cable TV and internet access. These would verify the fact that the DiCola's don't want to give up

all the aspects of the evryday life that we left behind in Pa.

In a later post, we'll provide further details of the facility, city, and how we'll pass our time. The one thing we're really hopeful of will be the warmer winter months, and shorter cold season. If we're lucky, winter for all of us will not be as bad as '09/'10.

Regarding the above snapshot, you'll be excused if you mistook it for Stonewall Jackson.

( albeit at an advanced age and with the DiCola schnoz ) I got involved with a living history project here in Boonsboro, and they needed another rebel to man a cannon crew. It took place at Fox's Gap, a battlefield at which ole' Bobby Lee wanted to detain the Federals a bit so's he could gather his armies together for the northern invasion. It was a very moving ex-

perience, and didn't take much to get the imagination going. Before long I was drawlin' all over the place and spittin' tabaccy juice over yonder. The organizers seemed to take a likin' to me and invited me to a similar exhibition taking place at the Antietam Battlefield this weekend. Only difference being that this time is I'll hafta be a Yankee. Guess I'll grin and bear it and hope the folks down in Savannah don't ever find out.

Both Joannie & I are getting the itch to hitch and move along to another adventure. The park here in MD has been great, but the time has come to hit the highway yet again. We'll bring ya'll up to date next time around. Take care!!!
