Been Busy...........

the last few days so will try to catch up. Frank has been working on a walking stick for me and he got her done and delivered it to me the other day. Check it out. Carved from Colorado Aspen just like the one he made for Becky last year. Mine doesn't have as many bears as Becky's; but, my bears are cuter. The Old Guy has talent and he even carved up his fingers too. He showed up the other day with bandages on his finger and thumb. Guess he wasn't being too careful. Beautiful hiking stick; but, I'll just keep it for show. Wouldn't want to nick it up.

We went geocaching briefly with Sue and Frank as they have about 300 caches to find in the area. Lots of them have been planted this year and they'll take some time to catch up. The cache by the barrels was named "Barrels".........which had nothing to do with the cache since Suz found it in an empty shotgun shell.

Our weekend event begin on Saturday with a warm-up being held at Lutes Casino........the place "Where the Elite Meet".......according to their advertising. We had over a hundred people show up for this one and it was pretty crowded. As usual, Becky was snapping pictures all over the place. She captured The Fossil Lady and "Flat Black", their geocaching names. Flat Black is also a wood carver and he was very impressed with Becky's hiking stick. JJ and Char's grand daughter was in attendance. We went early and had something to eat before warm up started.

Here we sit feeding our faces before any activity started on Saturday. Frank and Sue, Mel, myself, Larry and JJ. Glad to have eaten early. At 1500 I had a Flash Mob Event at the fountain across the street from Lutes. It was raining but that didn't seem to deter people from attending. The Flash Mob lasted less then 15 minutes and passer bys couldn't figure out what the heck we were doing. I had made up 25 fishing poles and attached cut outs to each line, we had gold fish, tuna, an old boot, whales, catfish and I can't remember what all. At a given signal everyone grabbed a pole and rushed to the fountain to "fish". Our local "Okie" was supposed to give a demonstration on Oklahoma nude noodeling; but, he chickened out and brought a stick of dynamite to demonstrate how they fished back home. Despite the rain I think everyone had a good time.

Oops.........had another collage posted and just lost it somehow. Oh well, I add some more pictures with a new post after publishing this as Blogger will only let me post 5 pictures at a time.
