WHILE house hunting, painting hex signs (3 live orders in the queue at present), keeping my design clients happy, trying to find time to work in the garden (sorry, KAF... you will see me some of these evenings, as things settle down), carrying K to his medical appointments (he has not felt up to driving for some time), continuing my flower project, spinning, sewing, cooking, petting cats and dog and shoveling out the tin box now and again... you get the picture. LOL
Woo Hoo Jj got a new job!

Yahooo!

congratulations Jj

Found electric closer to downtown, but every coffee shop was backed up out the door! LOL

this was a biggie... most if not all Bangor Hydro area was out for a while. some other electric co as well. They think lightning strike, I guess...at least my alarm clock is battery powered!
I WISH it was as easy as a lightning strike! Strange craft were seen in the skies just before it happened! They sucked the grid dry and made it look like lightning!!!. I have to stop watching the X Files marathon!

She called her Mother and had her look it up online and found it was from across Lake Michigan in WI. Seems a big storm had flooded where it was hidden and everybody thought it was lost for good. It floated its way across the 60+ miles and the logbook and most of the contents are fine.

Funny how something like this, brings to mind somebody like you. Have fun looking for new ones there!

LOL That is great!! I love it!! I wonder if MW read this.....yes, we have a new caching addict among us Her GPS arrived a couple a days ago, she's armed and ready to go! No whimpy stuff either, we were on Almanac Mt last night in the dark searching Scott have you looked into it? It's a great thing to do with the family and I bet the boys would love it


ok, where's Peachie?

ohhhhhhhhhhh Love it! I bought a Garmin eTrex Legend HCx. It's so cool! We were seriously considering another cache but we would have had to get past beavers, find a path and find a small path off the path. It didn't seem like a fantastic idea in the dark. We were beside a lake, up a mountain, down the mountain, through the woods, up a mountain, down the mountain, back through the woods, saw a moose and made it home before the rain started. The only reason I didn't go out to hide my cache today was rain (well, and a house full of teenagers). Maybe tomorrow!

She felt lousy last night after having that tooth pulled. I bet she's resting today. I can't wait til she's ready to go out with us.
