Treasure Hunt

Have you ever heard of geocaching?  Well, don't feel bad if you haven't.  Until I got to know my Hermit friend, neither did I.  Thanks to her, I blew my husband away.  When he asked me if I knew what geocaching was, I simply yes.  He just stared at me for about 30 seconds like he couldn't believe I knew about this.  It was quite amusing!  Like I have a secret life or something.  Well I do, but we won't tell right.  I kid.

We went on our first geocahing adventure.  And guess what?  There's an app for that!  And if you have a Droid, you can go to your market and get the same thing.  We're all friends here. 

It was a small find.  A find that wouldn't "Stump" us.  So we had to find a tree stump.  We were looking for smallish tree stumps.  Then I saw the sad remains of a fallen tree.  Well now, that is a bigger stump of a tree.  And then I saw something and pointed it out to Rich.  We found the hidden treasure!  Inside the little painted bottle:  a pencil, a car, and a piece of paper to sign.  We didn't bring anything to add since we are newbs, but I happen to have brought a pencil and paper and we each drew or wrote something on the paper to add to the cache.  It was a fun little adventure and we plan on doing it again.


What adventures have you had lately?

My family is really into geocaching. It is a little treasure hunt. So very fun for the kids, and not half bad for the adults, either! How much fun is that to be able to sort of stump your hubby! Love that.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
