A Long Hiatus - I Missed You Folks!!

Hello again, Everyone! Life has officially gotten in the way! There have been many things going on, and for the most part they're all good things. My wife and I have been trying to move south to enjoy the warmer climate for a few years and I got lucky. I was able to get a job, in my field, in Georgia! My wife was able to get a job, in her field, as well. We sold our home and took off for Georgia in a matter of a few weeks. We are now renting a home while looking to buy in the near future on Jackson Lake, near Monticello, GA.
I see several new screen names, and I am very happy to see a lot of familiar ones! I hope everyone is doing well, I've got a lot of catching up to do.
Although I'm making excuses for not staying involved and in touch, I have missed this whole group! Lot's of great people here!! Have a great day!

 

Nice to hear that good things were happening in your life. Glad you are back with us.

 

Nice to have you check in. Hope you are able to make the move and adjustments you want. Check back in often. Love to hear what is happening to our FHC family.

 

Nice to have you back, Flatlander! Sounds like you have had many blessings with your new jobs and move. Stop back when you get time and fill us in on what we missed.


You may have to change your name Southerner Pete ...

 

LOL TurboDiesel , I think there are quite a few that don't believe that I'm a southerner... yet!
Thank you for the welcome back. I still need to make it to a gtg to see if I can become a cfg member. I'll try my best!
It's nice to see that there are so many familiar faces around. Thanks for the kind wishes, TurboDiesel , savemoney , and Woodwidow .
I need to get a shout out to Backwoods Savage ! I hope you are well my friend! Eric VW , you still hang around theses parts? I still can't repay you for your input a while back! Horkn , my old neighbor to the north, you still checking in? Pallet Pete, Hello there if you're still participating! There are several others that I need to check on, that have helped me, and that I hope to shake hands with some day. Good to be back!
I don't have the time that I used to have, but I'll be checking in much more often.
Happy Sunday Funday!

 

All your peeps are still here and active

 

I try to ck in 2-3 times a day. Without FHC, I think I would go into some sort of DT's withdrawal syndrome.

 

Hi Pete, I was wondering if you were going to have time for the greenhouse this year. Seems you are working everyday into the evening. Don't know how you find the energy for all of this. My garden will be a bit smaller this year. Last year so much food went to rot. I hated seeing that happen. This year I will fill some of the space with flowers. They brighten things up. I can alway use that. I have a lot of problems getting around, but I won't give up. I have a little cart with a seat on it. It has wheels so I can move along as I want. Doing a little each day can have a huge impact on gardening. Just planted pumpkin seeds for the grandkids. Everything is in the solar space where it stays warm. Will only have 8-10 tomato plants this year. Too many rotted on the vine last year. Mostly, we like string beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, some greens, and summer squash. the rest I can easily get at the farmer's market.
Stay well my friend
Larry

 

Welcome back Pete, good to hear from ya! Making dreams come true for you and your wife is an acceptable excuse I suppose...

Congrats on the new endeavors!

 

Always good when a member checks back in after being away for a stretch. Good luck on your new journey Flatlander Pete

 

Absolutely!

I was busy getting my bike ready for work tomorrow, so I was going to comment later.

So are you going to still burn wood? I'd imagine you'd use less wood than when you were a northerner.
