Well, howdy!
Howdy, y’all. Been awhile, ain’t it? I guess that my new job is really takin’ it’s toll on me, my man, my youngin, and this here blog’. I’m just now gettin’ caught up with photos and this computer-thingy. Anywho, here are some photos and some stories to go ‘long with ‘em. Take a load off, you might be here awhile.
First and foremost, the men of Clan George would like to wish all our friends a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Geo-Caching.
Adults are just youngin’s in big kids clothes is what I always say. And here’s is the blamed proof. There’s this here thing called Geo-caching. You take a funny tool called a GPS machine and turn it on. It hooks up to them thar satellites running ‘round up in the sky, and what do you know?
A whole bunch of numbers come up telling you exactly where you cotton-pickin’ are in the world! Well someone had the bright idea of hidin’ treasure all around the world, postin’ these locating numbers on the internet, and lettin’ adults have at it. We done marched all over this durn city of Buna Vista. And the more we marched, the more addicted we became.
The treasure is found is a variety of containers. This here treasure was in a little bullet-sized capsule hidden in the hollow slat under a seat on top of a mountain.
Unfortunately for the finders, some people get distracted, leaving the main searcher all alone to find the prize, claim the prize, mark down they got the prize, and then re-hide the prize.
The treasure could be a variety of whozits or whirlygigs. We found bubbles at one place, a button. At our last find, we dun found a cool coin that’s made it’s way all the way from a place called Calinforny. This here one, all you had to do was sign your name sayin’ you done found it.
We’re obviously smitten with our new game and can’t wait to get out and do it again.
In other news, I decided it was high time I figure out how to satisfy my man. In the kitchen, that is.
So, I put my kneading skills to the test and decided to make us some bread. The first batch didn’t rise on account of my yeast bein’ dead. So, I sent my man out to the grocery store to fetch me some new yeast. After rising twice I stuck it in the oven.
After a bit of bakin’, this is how it turned out. A bit lumpy, but overall a good tastin’ morsel of food!
Unfortunately, me bein’ so busy in the kitchen and unused to being this way, I forgot that little fingers can get into little places and cause huge messes!
Thus is the case with the youngin’ who was too cute all covered in flour to be punished in any way.
In fact, I was laughin so hard the tears were justa pourin’ down my face, mixin’ with the flour, causin’ a sort-of cement mixture on the floor we have yet to figure out how to clean!
After the mess, the mushroom cloud of which scared him, the little man’s nerves had to be soothed with a good ole cup o’ tea.
He was all smiles soon after, though.
He even found time to play with his newly organized toy corner of the living room!
Anyway, that’s just a little update from our neck of the woods. Y’all have a good week now, y’hear?
