Went Geocaching awhile ago with my Father in Law.

We did a Spirit Cache.

It took us to a cemetery to see the grave of Johnny Griffith.

Mr Griffith  played with the Funk Brothers, an in house band for MoTown Records, they- “played on more number one hits than the Beatles, Elvis Presley,the Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys combined. “

You can hear them on 

My Girl, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Baby Love…

The list goes on and on…

While walking around the cemetery I found a headstone with what has become my favorite name ever…

Kizzie Little

Instead of  birth and death on her headstone it read Sunrise and Sunset… it seemed  right out of a Fannie Flagg novel.

I love the things I  see and learn geocaching.

Better than the stuff I see, is WHO I see it with… 

I am so blessed.

Got your Geocache?

The kids asked if they could make dinner tonight, sounded like a good deal to me.

They called it an all you can eat buffet.

Listening to them prepare it was half the fun.

Cooper insisted on being called Chef Cooper, and Isabelle said that was okay as long as he understood he was the third ranking Chef. Chef Charlie was first and Chef Isabelle was second and THEN there was Chef Cooper because he was the littlest and still learning. Cooper was okay with that.

We had…

 Day old scone and Fig Newtons.

A smiley face cheese plate, by way of a sliced cheese stick.

Bagels with salmon cream cheese. (The lemon is for a splash of color on the table.)

Chex mix, crackers with cheese on them, and yogurt.

Bologna pizza, Chef Charlie and Chef Isabelle’s secret recipe.

The plate was full but on the way to the table, apparently some of it got eaten, I mean went missing.

We also had white bread cheese sandwiches and neon yellow  macaroni and cheese.

All washed down with pink lemonade.

They even did the clean up… 

The only thing missing was Daddy!

He’ll be home soon though and I saved him some bologna pizza!

Mmm… He is going to be SO HAPPY!

;-D

When you were little did you ever make your parents dinner?

Did you have a specialty?

Recently I made it to The Duh to finally meet Saint Vi and to join up with Seedsower for a small side trip.

We went to the Meijer Garden in Grand Rapids.

We were headed to Chicago, but had a slight shift in plans when Wakeuplaughing posted about the Chihuly Exhibit, since Beth and I both LOVE Chihuly we had to go!  

WakeUpLaughing was kind enough to come walk with us, it was a very nice surprise.

SeedSower has posted her pictures HERE

WakeUpLaughings Pictures are HERE and HERE

and  here are some of mine!

I was mimicking THIS shot

I left my fisheye on the whole time. *sigh* I wish I hadn’t, but it’s a pain to change it back and forth…

Maybe I need another camera… hmmm…

Tree closeup

A Walla Walla

I could spend a whole day there just shooting the plants.

A Bank of Daisies

I wish I could have gotten a better angle on this one, but I didn’t think the garden would appreciate me climbing on the wall… On the way out I did notice some little kids doing it, next time maybe I should pretend not to know better.

Water Lily and Cloud Reflection

If you have a chance to make it to the exhibit I highly recommend it!

I can’t wait until Seedsower and I have our next adventure!

IS there an adventure on the horizon for you?

The “It’s About Time.” title is getting a little old!

You want to know something awful?

I didn’t even take Gabe with me to see Beth and VI!

I know, shameful right.
