Sunlit Mt Baker

A couple days ago Mt Baker was aglow. My son desperately wanted to take a picture of the sun hitting the top of Mt Baker. I was driving so I handed off my phone to him.

Charlie took the photos above. He also accidentally put my phone into airport mode and took a video of his pants, OH WELL.

Thinking About Valentine's Day

It is not too early to start thinking about Valentine's Day, really. Loveland, Colorado has released their special cachet that they will stamp your envelope if your re-mail your Valentine through Loveland. So if you are looking to do a little something special, you might consider having your Valentine sent through the Sweetheart City and stamped with a special cachet. See cachet poem below.

From the Sweetheart City
Scenic, Safe and Strong
Comes a flood of Valentine wishes
To you, where they belong.

The cachet has special meaning this year because of all the flooding.

Details HERE and HERE for directions on how to re-mail your Valentine.

Loveland is my hometown so I you bet I will be re-mailing some Valentine's.

One Little Word Graphic Quote

I should mark this as a item I spent WAY TO MUCH TIME ON. I made my One Little Word quote a graphic poster. I made this in Photoshop Elements. It turned out great. I based it on AAA ad. (see below)

AAA inspiration ad

It is now on the magnetic board in my Command Center near my desk. Hopefully this will keep my word front and center.

Ali Edwards had a list of all the word that people are using for their ONE LITTLE WORD (OLW). So if you need inspiration, check out the list.

North Kitsap Cache Machine

Point No Point Lighthouse

On last Saturday, Kev and I headed to the Kitsap peninsula for some geocaching. This was our 2nd cache machine. A cache machine is a pre determined route that a group of cachers take in a certain locale. It is fun to cache with a large group but as the day progresses the main group splinters into smaller groups. This cache machine had a number of hikes.

Somewhere in the Buck's Lake Rec Area

Interesting Fungi

cemetery - Chief Joseph's Grave

We always meet some amazing geocachers this time was no exception. We ended our day with one last cache at the ferry landing.

It was a whale of a good one. Sorry I couldn't resist. We found 49 caches and 1 event. All in all not a bad day to be out caching.

LeMay Family Collection

Last Saturday, Nonna treated us to a visit to the Lemay Family Car Collection. There are just a few hundred cars there. What a collection!

I love you can see the cars stacked up behind us

We even got a guided tour through two of the warehouses. Our guide was very knowledgeable and this really made the experience remarkable. We are a family that loves a good story and even better if it is about a car.
