My sick Aussie is out barking his head off at the German shepherds next door. He hasn't done that in days. Even more like himself after two doses of antibiotics!

Wonderful!
I am glad he is starting to feel more like himself!

Oh yay! Who would think you would be glad your dog was barking at something! Yay dog!!
Funny how our online names are the same in our hobbies! But my husband is also tfpets online in some forums too!
We even named our cat and kittens after geocaching stuff, my cats name is Geo Kitten - Geo for short, the kittens are Magellan - Maggie for short (a type of GPS), Triton (a GPS) and Explorist - Expo for short (a type of GPS)...Puzzle lives with my son now, and Cache has a new home! Geo is fixed, and I am working on the rest...whew
Hope your dog continues to do better!

OK, dumb question here, what is geocaching?

Quick answer, from a newbie, it is using a GPS device (not the kind you use in the car)to follow coordinates to find hidden boxes that you can sign in to. SOmetimes there are little trinkets and you can take one and leave on of your own.Quail_Antwerp said:

letterboxing also involves finding hidden boxes but without the high tech. gear. You may need a compass. In letterboxing you have a stamp that you stamp into the boxes logbook. The box has a stamp that you log into your own log book. www.letterboxing.org or www.atlasquest.com

I am totally amazed every single day the things I learn from the 3 little forums that I read! I have never ever heard of either of these 2 things and seems hundreds of thousand of people do them every day. I really need to burst this little bubble I live in. Actually, I guess I have just by getting on here and meeting people and finding out what is out there outside of my little world.Henrietta23 said:
These things are amazing and look like so much fun. I am sure there is so much more to it than just finding a "treasure". But what fun family vacations, such adventure. I'm jealous!

They're both lots of fun. There are lots of types of boxes to choose from, ones you can get in a few minutes or some that take days to decipher the riddle clues to! Hikes of a half hour or many hours...Georgiagirl said:

Dropped son at school and left him cheerfully cleaning out his desk and doing his morning desk work.
Came home and collected eggs~got 6 already. Other than one day when we got 7 that's a lot for our girls. Finally one of the Barnevelders is laying.
I have to go make sure I've got a complete outfit ready for my 1:00 interview. I don't have a nice jacket to wear which has me a little upset. We're in that in between weather where my good winter coat is too much. I'll probably just wear a sweater.
I have my first Tiger Cub Scout meeting tonight as leader. We will be making Thanksgiving greeting cards using leaf rubbings. Depending on how many get made we will send them to the local nursing home and possibly the Veterans' Home in the state as well. I have 4 first grade boys in my group.
I think I'm a little too wound up to get much else done around here. I'll probably end up puttering around the kitchen, doing some laundry and hanging out with the animals, indoors and out. It's in the 50s and the sun is shining. I still have a nasty sore throat and a stuffy head but nothing to keep me completely down and out. Hope I'm better by Wednesday. I'm scheduled to sub the rest of the week. We plan on going through the basement and attic tomorrow for the tag sale since we all have the day off from school.

I'm sure you'll look very nice! So much to do! Can you post a pic of the Greeting Cards? They sound precious - and I'm so missing Thanksgiving touches, with the Super surge of the Other huge holiday coming up, that Thanksgiving gets totally pushed aside now! I would LOVE to see more about Thanksgiving!
Have a wonderful Day, good luck!
