Geocaching

Today Paul and I decided to take a ride to Blandford to see if my Uncle Ross' gravestone was back (more on that in another post).  It wasn't.  We stopped at the Country Store for cranberry walnut chicken sandwiches (the best).  While we were there I showed Paul a new app that I put on my phone.  It was a geocaching app.  It's like letterboxing only easier.  The app shows you geocaches in your location.  It gives you a GPS location and clues and you look for some type of container.

We decided to check out what geocaches were in Blandford since that was where we were.

This is the first one that we found.

I think we are going to have a lot of fun with this!

Throwback Thursday - Disney gifts from 1975

The Gonsalves are back from Disney!  This got me thinking about other Disney trips.  This one is from July 1975 so Kristen was almost 3 and Mark was almost 1.  My aunt Dot had just returned from Disney World with my cousin Lynda.  Dot brought each of the kids Disney T-shirts and hats.  Where has the  time gone?

Throwback Thursday - Vacation, First trip to Disney 1980

Kristen, Toby, Marley, Toby's parents and Marley's cousin are going to Disney! 

This was our first family trip to Disney World.  Mark was 6 and Kristen was 8.  We went for two weeks and stayed with my cousin Lynda, whose husband was in college in Lakeland, Florida.  We also went to Circus World, Sea World, Busch Gardens, as well as spending time with my cousin and her new baby son.

In this picture we were having dinner at Cinderella's Castle.  It's a little hard to see, but the look on Mark's face was priceless.  He was in love!

We made two other trips with the kids, and then one by ourselves to celebrate our 30th anniversary in 2000.

I'm excited that Marley and her family are going to Disney.  I think its time for Paul and I to go again!

Marley's report card

This girl just never ceases to amaze me.  She has consistently wonderful grades.  I'm so proud of her!

Sisters, Priscilla and Marjory

These two sisters had birthdays this week!  My mother-in-law, Priscilla (l) would have been 87 on April 1st, and her sister Marjorie turned 89 on April 7th, the same day that my granddaughter Miriam turned 1.  Yay for April babies!

Project Life App Scrapbook pages - Mason's first cookie decorating at Stacia's, 11 months of Miriam

Stacia sent me a picture last week of Mason's first attempt at decorating cookies at her house this past November.  I had the other pictures so I decided to make a scrapbook page.

Miriam turned 1 this week.  This page is 11 months of Miriam!

Throwback Thursday - One of my favorite toys in the '50's

When Miriam was here the other day we were listening to The Farmer in the Dell song.  I told Paul about a metal Farmer in the Dell toy that I had as a child.  The next thing I knew he found a picture of it on the Internet.  I used to love that thing!
