CATCH UP & CACHE OF THE DAY

WINCHESTER BWW
PLAYING GAMES @ BWW

MORE GAMES


DUSTIN & JACKIE



PYMATUNING CACHE IN THERE




CACHE.... IT WAS THERE WEATHER : SHOWERS AND CLOUDY TEMP 80.
Had Thanksgiving dinner good if I do say so myself, even tho myself cooked it. Was just dad, Maggie & me.
Thought I might post some of my stay in Winchester on the way down. Over the weekend I was there grandson Dustin and his girl Jackie came from Pittsburgh where they go to college. No foot ball game to watch, but we went to for lunch on Sat. We were playing games while there. Had fun.
Today (Mon) I worked on more scrubbing the ceiling in the Florida room I can only work over my head for a short period of time, but hope to get it done this week. It got mildew on it and dad could not clean up so it went for several years, and now hard to get off. I am using vinegar and water. I first used some stuff dad got strong bleach stuff, you needed a hazmatt suite to use it. Was nasty stuff, and I did not want to breath it and get it all over me. Went on line and found the vinegar idea.
I went out on black Friday to Best Buy looking for a new lap top, found one but when it came down to it, just cant spend the $$ at this time. I keep limping this thing along. To many people out didn't go any where else that day. Sunday Maggie and I went geocaching, found only one! Will post about it later. I am setting up the Florida room as my craft room. I will post about that on my other blog.
The cache of the day is one I found last spring at Pymatuning Lake not far from my home in PA.
Look at the size of the cache and look at the area I was looking in, this is when the old GPS comes in handy, you would never find it without GPS. It is fun playing a grown up treasure hunting game with a multi-million dollar satellite system, kinda funny when you think about it.
All for now thanks for stopping by.

IN FLORIDA AND CACHE OF THE DAY

NC CACHE aka: MAYBERRY
ANDY GRIFFIN MUSEUM

BARNY'S SIDE CAR


THE CACHE WEATHER: TEMP 80 AND WALL SUNSHINE!

Hi all....sorry been so long...anyway I am now in Florida! I will be posting on my trip but not in any order, just what ever, when ever.... Grandpa went to his first pro football game last weekend at Jacksonville they were playing his team the Cleveland Browns, guess he had a blast. They tail gated and everything. I have been working around here, making the Florida room in to my craft studio. Had to do some major cleaning still not done. Now I have to make room for all my stuff, not easy when you have no storage yet. I did find a couple things at a yard sale last weekend, a chest of those plastic stack drawers on wheels you see at WM, some guy was selling them, like new, and only wanted $1 for them grabbed them fast. Been doing the yard sale thing trying to find shelving etc for my craft studio I do have it set up enough to start making a few things, will post on that soon on my other blog http://redapplejunction.blogspot.com/ check it out. Had to take Maggie to the vet, she had a hot spot that came about in VA, while we were there. Vet gave us some spray and that helped it heal up. Expensive little girl.
The cache of the day is one we found on the way in NC, I didn't have one for that state, so we stopped on the way, at MT Airy, where the Andy Griffin Museum is to find one in front of the building. Moved a couple stones out of the way and there it was. Did not spend the time to go in the museum this time, maybe another time.
Today went to pick up a few things for Thanksgiving dinner, I am cooking the whole thing, for the 2 of us. Told dad I wanted to eat left overs for a week, I love Thanksgiving dinner. Making something new, for desert, mix can of pumpkin with brownie mix, hope it turns out.
All for this time thanks for stopping by

SAFE TRIP - TRICK OR TREATERS & CACHE OF THE DAY

Gdaughter on far right kids are only 13 but sure do look older! But when I looked 21 when I was 12 at 5' 9" tall. Tricker treaters on my corner......it was like this all over the east end. and we have very few kids in the neighborhood. I ran out of candy.


My fav's coloring crayons.


PATH CACHE Maggie on the path looking for the cache. This was one we found this summer on a newly paved rails to trails bike, walking trail. Really nice. The head of the trail starts in Sharpsville PA and goes for a few miles. I like these cache locations, even if I got dirty looks from one biker. Like this was just a bike trail and I was not welcome walking. We had fun anyway. Maybe next summer we will go look for the rest of the caches on this trail



THE CACHE.................located on an old guard rail where a road use to go across the rail road tracks. Really over grown and hard to see in summer. Must ware orange in the fall!


Had a safe uneventful trip south to VA. Went the same rt and saw the same view but with out most of the colorful leaves. Stopped same place for our brown bag lunch, being Monday not so much traffic. Today Tues, kids are going to vote, then we will go to Costco and a few other places.
I will be helping my dd base coating slate , she is getting ready for a big show mid Nov.
All for now thanks for stopping by
