Project 365 - Day 138: The Big Itch


Well, I can't be positive but I'm pretty sure I contacted a poison of the ivy, sumac or oak variety and is it itchy as hell!! If I could have ripped my leg off to gnaw on it today, I would have. Luckily its not a big bout of it. Lizard, I feel your pain and sympathize! (and yes, I got it while geocaching)

Project 365 - Day 71: Let's Go Geocrashing!


And that's exactly what we did. Blew off work this afternoon (Monday) to go caching with MHz. It was a beautiful day and the weather forecast was, well, forecasting crap so we took the opportunity go grab a few caches. Headed out to Headingley to experience the Headingley Grand Trunk Trail and found this bridge near one of our cache finds. We managed to find 8 caches, including a few of the Trove Chasers bowling caches! Suh-weet!

Project 365 - Day 58: Scans, Momuments and Haircuts, OH MY!


Highlights from the day:

- Having a cat scan done on my eye.
- This monument at a nearby cache that I could not find (but it was a nice diversion before and after my cat scan).
- Getting a new haircut and color.

Project 365 - Day 55: On My Walk Back from The Oakwood...


...I saw this cruising along the Red River. I *think* it was a beaver and its just not often you see a beaver cruising down the Red. The mighty high Red, I might add. My walk home after supper was awesome.(not to mention I've introduced new patrons to The Oakwood when the Queen, MHz and I went there a couple of weeks ago)

And at The Oakwood, I ran into 1Q4J (1Queenand4Jokers) who are currently evacuated from their home in Rosenort due to the flood. The Queen and her family are remarkably upbeat for a family that has had to live out of their suitcase in a hotel for the last few weeks and for possibly the next few! My hat is off to them for their positive attitude and being able to keep things in perspective when the going gets tough.

Project 365 - Day 53: Second Rate


This is *not* the picture I wanted to post for today but the picture I wanted to post, might be a "spoiler" for any cacher friends reading this blog!

So instead, here's the haul that the kids came home from Dollarama with. When my daughter has money, it seems like its always burning a hole in her pocket and she has to spend it. Teaching her the value of a dollar seems to be an effort in futility so far.

Project 365 - Day 42: #2500

Spent the Saturday of Easter weekend caching with two caching friends, MHz and 1Q4J. 18 finds in all as we toured around Winnpeg, St Francis Xavier, and Eli and here's a shot of MHz at her 2500th cache find! It was a nice day with many laughs, finishing off with dinner at The Oakwood Cafe on Osborne!

MHz will be equally pleased as this post is on Day 42 of Project 365 which happens to be her favorite number! Congrats on 2500!!!
