NMG January Meet and Greet

This morning the intrepid geo-cachers met for breakfast at Mabel's. What a good time!

People came from all over. We saw, met, and talked to all sorts of cachers: The Light People from Farmington Hills, CoyChev from Reed City, Team Sandrich from Onekama, Smokey Bear from Manistee, Trashcan and Cachehound from T.C., Jethro and Peaches from Alpena, eb_ii from Gaylord, ABX Guy and Wife from T.C., Clay People from Suttons Bay, Victory Mike from Ann Arbor, 5vons from Oscoda, dajayhawk from Saginaw, M'Lynn from T.C., and Craig333 from Sault Ste. Marie among others.

After breakfast we drove around to various city parks and Dick scouted out good places to hide caches. It was 11 degrees F, snowy and blowy. Occasionally the sun would peek through the clouds and the lighting was really eerie - a mist of snow, a sunlit stone wall, a menacing black cloud, and a patch of blue sky.

We went to visit Mother - took out the trash, balanced the checkbook, removed the last vestiges of Christmas greenery, and had a nice visit. She's much more like herself - her cold is better and she's not as achy. It was a very positive visit. It's amazing how much my mood improves when I'm not worried about her.

Now we're watching the Patriots play the Colts. We just naturally have to cheer for Tom Brady, but it's a little harder today because Josh Williams and Cato June play for the Colts. I love Cato June especially. But I'm cheering for Tom anyway.
