Mom's distressing discovery


Mom wrote me the following today:

Dear Geri: I was looking for something in the trunk that's in the attic. (This is the trunk that you had used for camp.) When we moved ten years ago, I packed the trunk with treasured items such as my wedding dress, your prom dress etc., etc. I haven't looked in that trunk for many, many years and when I opened it...it was empty. Nothing at all in there. To say the least, I was shocked! I really don't know what to make of it? I feel so sad about this loss. Love, Mom

I feel so badly for her - Mom is really sentimental and those things were very precious to her. I can't imagine who'd have been so low as to steal them.

'Caching with Funcrunch


Had a lovely Saturday afternoon geocaching with [livejournal.com profile] funcrunch the other day :-) First we went to find a cache near Lake Merced, which my geocaching buddy Bucky had hidden impressively well. [livejournal.com profile] funcrunch and I spent a full *half-hour* circling the few-hundred-foot radius that our GPS's were jumping around, and we even both looked in the area where the cache was, but it was wrapped in black camo tape and so it blended right into its crevice.

Lots of other geocachers had also commented in the log that the cache was very well concealed. Oddly, despite its stealth, this is one of the few caches I've seen where the log was also signed by 2 non-geocachers who'd stumbled across it and had been kind enough to replace it after checking it out. Go figure...

So here are some pics...

This is [livejournal.com profile] funcrunch signing the log:
