BORING, BLAH, BLAH, BLOG!!

FLOWERS SITTING ON STEP
GETTING A DRINK
CACHE IN A SMALL LOCAL PARK

THE CACHE WEATHER: HOTTER THAN BEFORE.
Dog days of summer blah, work blah, caching blah, and a boring blog blah! That's the way I have been feeling, so I know I have been lax in posting.
I think I have the most boring of boring blogs, in Bloggerville. I think all this work is getting to me this summer, ya know the old saying all work and not play , blah , blah, blah! Every blog I read peeps, are doing things, going places, and all that good stuff. I cant even get to any caches, I go to the flea market to set up every Sunday, but even that is work. lol even the flowers in the pic are blah looking wilted, it rained the other day so I set them on the step to get a good drink. Ok ok enough of the soap box!
After all is said and done, and complained about, we are making progress with the house. Got the basement walls all painted with the DRY LOC and boy did it do a great job. I you have damp or wet basement walls don't hesitate to use this product. I forgot what a good job it does! We put some on the floor were we thought it might be helpful, and it worked there also. Then we painted the floor ( just have a small area left to do) and finally the whole basement looks better than it has in many years. You don't mind going down there and doing what ever. LOL to bad I will be leaving it for someone else to enjoy.
As I said have not even been able to go do any caching. So here is pic's of one I got a couple of months ago. Was kind of easy, and I got to see a little park that I didn't even realize was there.
Well all for now. I'm off to give Maggie a bath, she must know, she is hiding under the chair in the living room. LOL
Happy Caching

TREE EATING CACHE & MORE "STUFF" GONE!

ANOTHER LOAD GONE!
SIL PACKING IT IN!

TREE EATING CACHE


THE CACHE DON'T WORRY WON'T LET THE TREE EAT YOU!
WEATHER: Temp in low 80's Nice!
Had company this weekend. On Sat my DD & SIL came up from VA, to get "stuff" that I had set aside for her to paint on. She has a lot of shows coming up this fall, and I wanted to get rid of it so now its hers! We had a whole truck load for them to take back as you can see from the pic's. I had every thing from slate from my roof I replaced ,to old tin from the 50's like old canister sets, baking things etc etc. And some old windows. All in all we had a nice day. They had to return to Pittsburgh, where my G-Son was so it was a short visit. Saying prayers for SIL, on Tues he will be having knee replacement surg. The second time for this knee, didn't work out so good first time he had it done two yrs ago.
We sure made a lot of $$$ from the 100 year old slate that was taken off my roof. Some time I will dig around for some pic, of what we use to paint on them, and maybe DD will send me some of what she will be doing now.
The cache of the day is one we found last week. It is in the very old part of a local cemetery. I like this cemetery, very old, when I was a child I remember my maternal grandparents taking me with them on memorial day, to plant flowers. I don't remember where they were, but someday I think I will walk around and see if I can find them. Around were the cache was hid, some of the old trees were growing around the stones. Some stones you could not even read anymore. I took me some time to find this one. You can see Maggie helping lol.
This week son and I will be back working in the basement hope to get the walls done, and the rest of the "stuff" taken out. I might move it to the shed , so it will be easier to put it out for the yard sales I am planning. Will see how it goes. I can't wait till I "retire" for real!!
Thats all for now.
Happy Caching

BALLFIELD CACHE, YRD SALE, FLEA MARKET

CACHE BEHIND THE FENCE
THE CACHE

YARD SALE AT SON'S


FLEA MARKET SET UP



BROOKIE AT FLEA MARKET WEATHER: HOT HOT AND HOTTER! Temp today was 92. Thats all I have to say about that!
What's been going on around here, well , a lot! Son and I have been working in the basement, cleaning sand stone walls that had dry-loc put on about 25 yrs ago, and was chipping. Then we painted new dry-loc on the walls. We got about 3/4 of it done. Then we started working on a yard sale we wanted to have at his home last Friday. Did that then next day Sat. we set up at a flea market, seems he has been bitten by the flea bug!! Anyway that's a lot of packing and unpacking and again and again. The one pic has my G-Daughter in it she did a great job of helping at both yrd sale and flea marked and even sold some stuff she has out grown, now that she will be a "teenager" in Aug. The other flea market pic is of our set up, the white car and truck is our spaces, we got side by side so we could share the tables.
I have not had time to do any caching, but there is a pic of one I did not long ago. It is a new listing but I was not the FTF. It is at a local ball field, behind that fence you see. Also behind the fence was mosquito city, and other biting bugs. WoW, I got a line of bites on my ankle that dove me nuts all week after I visited there.
This week I have been working inside most of the day because of the heat. I did some land scape early in the mornings. I am gathering up and sorting again, never ending job at this point.
My daughter and son in law are coming on sat to get some things that I had for decorative painting she is going to use the stuff. It will be nice to see them. I think we will be going out to my brothers to have a weeny roast in the afternoon. Nothing formal just who ever shows up.
Then on sunday we will be setting up at the flea marked again.
All for now.
Happy Caching
