HOBBIES OLS AND NEW

FIRST CLUE WOOD AND HAMMER

FOUND IT...SEE IT?

CASHE LOG INSIDE. Old hobby and new hobbie...I have revisited an old hobby I had many many years ago...fishing....been having a ball not catching much yet..... but I have to relearn everything.

New hobby....Geocaching....this is so much fun..........Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache. The first 4 cashes I have found by clue only ...no GPS...not easy....most do not give many clues. Any way I posted my first find so you can see how it works....the clue was wood and hammer....I looked it up on the maps provied on the web site and went from there....I found the wood sign and and the hammer ...first pic....looked all around the ground didn't see a thing ....looked up at the hammer and there it was...second pic...wedged between on the top of 2x4. Got it opened signed the log and put it back for next geocacher.....it was so much fun trying to figure it all out then the hunt and then the find! Some of the caches have items in them and you can take something and leave something in the cache but always sign the log....to make this more enjoyable and be able to find the hard ones I will have to get a GPS..I have been wanting one anyway...so guess this will be on my toy list. Looking at the geo site I was very very suprised how many are hid in my area. Go to the geo site sign up (free) and check your area....I used my zip code to locate them. This is very addicting but you really should have the GPS. Well can't figure out if I want to start a new blog or just use this one for everything...I'm still working on down sizing and selling everything.

RED KITCHEN THINGIES

RED KITCHEN GATHERING

REMEMBER THE FREZE BOX ? Isn't if funny how we can forget things, then see something and ...ahhhh light bulb goes off and jerks us back in time. That is what happened when I saw these Kordite boxes. When I was a kid we had a large garden as did my grandparents and there was a lot of canning and freezing going on! It is what we ate on all year long. My mom got $25 per week for groceries family of five. Now for sure things were a lot cheaper back then but it still was a stretch even back then and she did that for over 25 yrs. until she past in 1969. any way these things are from a gathering I sold on ebay last yr.

HENS, CHICKS. AND SHOES!

This is what I did on Sat. so I could take them to the flea market on Sun. They are some ceramic shoes that were left over from my store days.. I use to fill them then with hens & chicks and sell them ...moslty in the summer. A few yrs ago a neighbor of mine put two large strawberry pots full of hens & chicks for the garabge. I stopped and ask if I could have them she said take them.

So I did! And let me tell you I have made more than a few $$$ with them. I have only 6 left so if I let them go this summer I shoud at least double them by next yr. So I guess you could sort of call these Trash To Treasure. I even sold the plastic pots at a yard sale last year! Thats all for today.

VTT CRATES

VINTAGE CRATES

FRUIT CRATES

CAPE COD CRANBERRIES CRATE

YOO-HOO CRATE

Crates, crates, and more crates, these are left overs from my store. One day after I first opened my store, an old lady comes in walkes around and then comes up to the desk and ask me if I would be intrested in some old crates from the 30's and 40's. I said sure would, then she told me about how her and husband had a grocery store during that time and in the basement were a bunch of old wood crates. So I made time to go visit her next day and she took me to the old building where the store was. It is in another town about 2o mile from my store. The building is down town and empty now but in good shape. Well I ended up getting about 20 old crates some very big ones most were like these. There is an old Cap e Cod Cranberries crate , really neat on the one end is a map showing where it came from on the Cape. And we all know Yoo Hoo...then there is another pop crate from a local beverage co. called Nehi Beverage. Well know for its orange pop. Here in NW PA we call soda... pop. The other 3 are fruit crates from all over the country. I kept these to use as display in my craft show booth...but I think I will be selling them soon. Well thats it for this weeks VTT for me dont for get to visit our host

GRAMMY-N-MAGGIE RV'ING

Maggie playing RV'ing lol DD and SIL camper.

Well Grammy “n” Maggie spent 12 days practicing RV’ing. It was fun and I think we could live that way. I have decided to make some major life changes at this time of my life. I will be 64 next month and figured better do it now lol. I have always loved camping and dreamed often of being on the road traveling around this great country that we live in. I also have been wanting to down size for several yrs now. I am a pack rat so this is a major undertaking and I am a one woman show! I started last yr doing some yard sales, this yr I have added doing the flea market thing, so back to the practicing full time RV’ing we went to visit my dd and sil and gs and cats and dogs lol. GS was home from college and his gf came for a visit so me N maggie staid in their camper. It worked out great and we loved it. So now I am wanting this to happen fast but will have to take it one thing at a time. I have been following blogs of RV fulltimer’s there is a lot to learn and this is a good head start. I want a class C RV. I think I will start another blog about RV’ing from the start to finally getting on down the road. Any way here are a few pic’s. And I am having a down sizing yrd sale this weekend.
Have a great weekend
