This is a sad day :(

It looks like this is the end of the line for my Girl Scout troop :(

It fell apart last year and I thought I had it all pulled together for a great year this year and everyone has bailed on me and the troop.

It was so hard telling Christina tonight, she loves Girl Scouts. She ran to her room and cried for 15 minutes. I looked for a new troop for her last year when things were falling apart and no one had meeting times that would work with our schedules.

So, this is it, the end of the line so to speak, at least for her troop. I will still work with her as a Juliette Scout but it isn't the same as meeting with a group of girls and building a team and learning from each other and learning how to lead.

sniff, sniff

This is a sad day...

Geocaching...our new addiction

Thing of Geocaching as an updated version of the scavenger hunt you did as a kid. This hunt involves GPS coordinates and we get to play with the governments 12 BILLION dollar satellite system and we don't have to pay for it! How cool is that? This is a game where usually the only reward or prize is the actual find of the cache (pronounced "cash"). Sometimes you can swat GeoCoins or other items that are trackable. A trackable item has a specific number on it, you take the item, log your find online and replace it in a different location. Someone once set out 2 trackable items with the only stipulation that one travels only East and the other only travels West, they actually passed through the exact same geocache in Australia 18 months later!!


Here is a brief video of Geocaching:
