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

CACHE OF THE DAY,WORK UPDATE & YD SALE

PRESSURE WASHING PORCH LOOKING GOOD!


GETING READY FOR YS


CACHE IS HIDDING




THE CACHE
WEATHER: Temp 83 and lot of sun shine = HOT
This week has been a busy week for me. Getting ready for first yard sale of the season, it is an annual Memorial Day weekend one I have had for the last few yrs. It is usually the biggest one.
Son came and we took out tables and two loads of totes. Tomorrow I will start to set up, for Sat, Sun, and Mon. It might rain tomorrow so I will have to play it by ear.
While we were at my brothers home I got his power washer, loaded it in the truck and son did my front porch. It turned out pretty good considering nothing has been done to it in over 10 yrs. Next week after yrd sale I will put on a couple coats of a honey colored sealant on it. One more thing to cross of my large list of things to get done on the house. Son will start the front of the garage next week also. I guess we are going to put on new doors, like the original ones that were on it. Things are headed in the right directions, maybe not as fast as I would like to get it done but it will get there.
The cache of the day is one geo-dog Maggie and I found last Sunday while caching in a town just a little south of here. This was the second time I looked for this one, it is right in the middle of a bunch of businesses and way to many mugglers were around. But this time we found it as every one was closed. I think I like to cache on Sundays as not many mugglers around at that time. This one had a neat hiding place as you can see in the pic. I looked around a light pole and didn't find anything, looked over to the right and saw that hanging on another pole and yep that was it.
So far this summer I have only been able to go caching once a week, I read some of the logs of others and man, they go every day! The must be "retired" lol.
That's all for now
Happy Caching

A FL CACHE & UPDATE

TYPICAL PARKING LOT CACHE
CACHE LOG ONLY WEATHER: TODAY IS COLD & RAIN BUT IT HAS BEEN UP IN THE 70'S AND ONE OR TWO 80'S SINCE I GOT HOME!
These pic's are of a typical parking lot cache, it took me 3 months to figure out the sq box around the light post can be lifted up. And I only figured it when I ran across one that was broken and tore up. These are called park & grab caches. I haven't looked for any since I got home but might go out tomorrow, while checking out a few yard sales.
I haven't got much done yet around the house. I finally got a fridge, a cheap new one at Home Depot. Got Dish for TV, as I had cable cut off before I left. This is so much cheaper than the cable I should have done it years ago. Went thru some flea market totes and got rid of a lot that I have been hauling around a couple years, if it hasn't sold by now it' not going to. Now I need to start going thru stuff and get going to the flea market with new items.
Hope to get started working on the house soon
That's all for now
Happy Caching
