VTT DAY

OUT ON THE TOWN!

CLUCH AND BOTTLE NECK

BEAUTIFUL
For today's VTT I have pic's of a few left over vintage purses from my store. I just

can't bare to part with them at a fleamarket. I don't know for sure what I will

do with them maybe esty if I ever get a store started there. I am going to list some vintag

Christmas on ebay tonite...I have a link to my ebay on the side bar. Also going to start an

geocacheing blog also. I got a travel bug in a cache yesterday and can't wait for my trip to

FL going to pass it along then.

We got the house painted outside, what a relief.

Everyone have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

till later blessings to all

MORE TOURIST FINDS & HOUSE

Here is an old log cabin that was found when another building was being torn down. It is the oldest building known in Mercer Co. PA. Wow can you imagine a whole family living in it. Things were sure a hardship back in the day, I wonder how many of us could cope with living at that time? This log cabin is sitting in the small park where I found the lock geocache.
Now for the house progress it is all painted but a small trim around the front porch roof. What a load of my mind. And one step closer to my goal. A big step at that. Thanks to son for all the work. I found out doing this type of labor is not in my future, I can't do all the things I could when I was younger, intresting finding out about these "old age things" I know I will be glad when I can be a "retired" woman. I can't seem to add the pic's at this time so I will come back and try again

GEOCACHING

MICRO GEOCACHEMaggie and I went caching today was sunny but cold maggie stayed in the truck! Found 3 out of
5 we looked for. A couple of these that I cant find , I dont think they are there anymore I wish the owners would either up date them or take them off geocache.com. Didnt take my big old camara today but the pic I posted is of a cache I found the other day. This is the smallest one I have ran across. It is total of about 2" has a tiny length of paper rolled up inside that you sign.
I really like the hunt of this new hobby ...but no one else in my family seems intrested. Other than geocaching and cleaning up around the house today I did not do much. I have started (yesterday) to clean cupboards in kitchen taking out and putting in boxes things I will be selling
when I retrun home in the spring, keep out just enough to live on for the next 8 weeks....tomorrow it is going to be sunny and 60 in the afternoon so son and I are going to get
back to painting on the house. Next 3 days are going to be nice and I think we can get it done.
Well thats all for now going to read my RV blogs and watch a little TV.

Geocache and Toruist

ERIE EXTENSION CANAL LOCK # 10

LOCK FROM THE PARKING AREA

LOCK CLOSE UP WATER

USE TO FLOW THRU THIS

Well I have been thinking about things that I would blog about while traveling full time in an RV.

I know its going to be awhile so got to thinking about if I were passing thru this town what would be of toruist type intrest here. When I went to a town about 13 mi. away (Sharpsville PA) looking for a geocache I found a very toruist area that I never knew was there, and I have lived here all my life. I found the cache and then looked around. This #10 lock is the last you can see along the Shenango River in N West Pa. it was part of the Erie Extension Canal. This town made a nice little park here and you can also go fishing in the river. You can see the river flowing beside it in the second pic. The canal went from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. For more info you can google the Erie Extension Canal. This is just an added fun time to Geocaching. I think I will be posting a few more things around Mercer Co. as I find them.

THE HOUSE! Well I would say we got the house 3/4 finished. Hope to finish this weekend as

it will be in the 60's and no rain. I finaly feel like major progress has been made takeing me closer to my new adventure. My first travel adventure will be this coming Jan. 2010 ( no rv yet)when I go to stay with my dad in FL for a few months. I plan on blogging about my travels and time there.

well thats all for now

PAINTING HOUSE

Son painting trim

Windows primed with white.9 AM: Well still can't figure out if I should use this blog for everything...like my getting ready to RV on down the road or start a new one. So I think I will just ramble on this one till I figure it out. Was a great day in NW PA after 3 weeks of cold and rain so son and I were able to get back working on the outside of the house. We hope to get all the windows done to day green trim. I will post later on today let you know how much we actually got done. Maggie and I usually go for a long walk first thing in the moring well since it has turn chilly we wait till later on in the day. I really need to do more excersing, when we get to FL in Jan. hope to do a lot more walking. Oh yeah ..ask #1 son if he wanted a piece of homemade apple pie...and let it me know that he declined!

Second post 6PM Well we didn't get the windows done today. Hope tomorrow. I did not do much after paintin, fixed dinner grilled burger, vegies' and ice cream sandwhich, wall mart has the best peanut butter ice cream sandwhches.
