First Finder!

We drove out to Old Mission to search for three new geocaches which have just turned up. We found all three, and on the first one, we were first finders. When you're a first finder, you're obligated to do the first finder's dance! It was a creative hide and we had fun with it. After three successful finds, it was lunch time, and we were very near the Peninsula Grill. I remembered how yummy their mac and cheese was at the mac and chee bake-off earlier, so that's what I ordered. It is still extremely yummy. Dick had a salmon BLT.

Back in town we went to visit Mother. She's still a little shaky from being so sick, but she looked good, and we had a nice visit. We told her about Laurie's "birthday party" last night at Outback Steakhouse. Dylan had "co-co-nut shrimp" and his birthday treat was Thunder from Down Under for dessert.

Laurie's procedure was today - she's back home and feeling fine. I'm so glad she had that done. Now we wait for the report.

Speaking of waiting for the Doctor's report, we still haven't heard anything from Dick's Doctor regarding flunking the EKG on Tuesday. Heavy sigh. Well, we take that to mean that it's nothing super critical, so that's a good thing.

Laurie says that Dylan's class is talking about family trees, and so he's going to take the Kanitz Family Tree Project Book to school and share the pictures and some of the information - for instance, Dylan's great-great-great-grandfather came from Saxony (Sachsen) in Germany. Achtung! Makes me proud.

Unfortunately, we watched Michigan basketball tonight. Oh dear, oh dear - now they've lost two in a row - first time all season. Another heavy sigh. This from mgoblue.com:

A monster game by Courtney Sims went for naught Thursday, Feb. 9, as the No. 22-ranked Michigan men's basketball team dropped a 94-85 decision to No. 19 Ohio State in Crisler Arena. The Wolverines jumped out to a 21-8 lead before the Buckeyes' shooting heated up, leading to a 49-43 OSU edge at the break. The game was tied 70-70 when U-M's Dion Harris left with an ankle injury, and Ohio State embarked on a 14-5 run that proved to be the difference. Sims finished with 26 points on 13-of-16 shooting and added 16 rebounds.
