I had every intent to continue posting to my blog and then I got hit by jet lag, chores, orders and every other thing....so here I am...and I gotta make this one short because I have another full day ahead of me.
While in France we did some Geocaching. If you don't know what Geocaching is....you may want to find out because it is a ton of fun...for grown ups and children alike.
This one was particularly good. I won't give any of the clues away or even identify the location of the cache.
Someone did an excellent job hiding the cache in this tree. The boys loved finding it. There was another that was magnetic and placed on the back of a large parking meter system. The metal piece looked like it belonged there....but nope...there was a cache hidden behind it.
Something very funny (to me anyway) happened while searching in a park for one cache. The four of us looked high and low....used the instructions and still could not find the cache. Rick went down a set stairs into parking area. He saw an opening and felt some paper. He thought for sure he had found the cache so he called the boys and I over. His intent was to allow the boys to be the one's who actually do the discovering. The opening was too high for their reach so I reached into this hole and pulled out some paper.
We found someone's drug stash. Worse yet....I never thought to wipe my finger prints off the paper. So if anyone in France is looking for me....ya gotta know we were just Geocaching and nothing else....HONESTLY! I am so grateful it was me who reached up and pulled it out and not my kids. I sent them away after I noticed there was no paper to sign like in a Geocache.
Speaking of addicts.....I'm still working on my nickle size hexies. This is the progress I've made:

Lo and behold....it was not a Geocache at all....YIKES!

It it growing and I'm really enjoying this project.
Oh...and did I mention a snow storm? We were hit with 7 inches of snow and it took out a part of one of our trees. Here is how it started:
Beautiful white flakes in the early evening....and by morning...
A winter wonderland in April.
So very grateful Rick owns a chain saw!
The poor little frozen children in front of the city library!!! LOL
Now....off to get a ton of stuff done.
Smiles,
