Tahoe 2009

Naegle Bldg 12 - Valley View room - It was really smokey yesterday - Yosemite has a fire and we flew by it on the way up here. We did seven geocaches today - just a few hours including lunch at MickeyD's - An entire football team (high school??) came in there while we were there!

Found three caches we'd looked for last December in the snow - they were deeply buried in the snow then.

Foxhound and Cepheus7 went to the Jacuzzi - I logged the caches - some "newbie" found the darned Horse cache in front of Harrah's and logged "Quick and Easy" she's found 18/19 at the time she logged it!!! We have looked twice with Cepheus7 and not found it :'(

Lake Tahoe for a Week!

Well most of it anyway - then to Sonoma County for a few days - gonna be another hot one I fear - but it is Vacation - and if it's hot then there will be lots of time at the pool - which I don't really like - I can't see without glasses - and don't wear contacts any more - so can't really swim in the pool :(

There might be geocaching and horse back riding too


time will tell

A Great Weekend
Actually started Friday - Our two Cadettes met with our two leaders - (yup their moms are the leaders!) They actually accomplished quit a bit - they were looking at the IPs and the new Journey and thinking SILVER - I like that - I asked them to take charge in September - They are Ready! DISCOVER CONNECT TAKE ACTION

Then - Saturday - work for 4 hours - came home - Played on FaceBook - went to my 30 yr HS Reunion - Recognized some people - others - nope - not without the name tags - spent most of the time with a friend from 5th grade on - had to leave "early" - but later than I had told my family I was going to - to get sleep for SUNDAY!

The Ocean Institute in Dana Point http://www.ocean-institute.org/programs/index.html - We went on the 88.5FM KSBR Morning Breeze Cruise - with guest Artist SCOTT AUGUST http://www.cedarmesa.com/ !! He called a Blue Whale with an awesome "Grandfather Cedar Flute" - totally awesome - totally -

The dolphins too, enjoyed the cruise - they play with the Sea Explorer and were leaping out of the water! I even captured one on "film" - fully out of the water.

It was a GREAT Weekend!

Morning Breeze - KSBR

It is 7am Sunday 08.09.09 - Theme from Princess Bride is playing on KSBR - I love this piece - The movie is a favorite too - so many funny bits - "He's only mostly dead" and the fencing and the ROUS's - all of it - The piece kinda winds up with a few notes - by Alex DeGrassi http://www.degrassi.com/

NEXT weekend - Sara and I will be on our way to the Ocean Institute - for a Morning Breeze Cruise with SCOTT AUGUST!!!

FaceBook and Girl Scouts!

Spent WAY too much time hunting HATCHLINGS - Way too much time...

I started a "group" for our Girl Scout Service Unit - and before it was even really ready a buddy requested to join!!

Set some more stuff up on it and sent invites to the Service Unit and - no one else :( But, it is a nice weekend - maybe in the coming week.

Went to the Orange County Girl Scout Council August kick-off this past Tuesday - Only one other person from our Service Unit went with me - funny thing - she's the buddy who is in the GROUP I started today! It was at the Kick-off that I heard to use FaceBook as the platform for the SU site - easier than setting up and entire site on my own, I was told. Boy, was it easy. Only thing is that I can make it fancy - but - the price is right - and for now - it will be great - IF I can get some response! Pictures, Events and other things can be added all right there for the group - EASY!

Tomorrow - I may have a new Daisy Leader to give Orientation to but, have not heard from her - no email replies and I don't have a phone number for her - I just have to show up - just in case - that is a bit frustrating when I don't hear anything... but - I never get tied of where I hold the Orientations - so if no one shows- my daughter and I will just enjoy the oaks for a while - and listen to the birds.
