Friday Update

I think it would have looked bad to have a Monday Update on Friday so you get a Friday Update instead haha.

First I have a finish to report...
I was able to get the stitching finished up on the very last day of July. But I had to wait till Wednesday morning to get it assembled. So close. At least it's finished. It's cheating and on display until I finish August....hopefully before September this time haha.

I can't believe it's August already. I remember in May when I thought it would be August before I knew it. Guess what! Here it is. What a blur the past few months have been. Getting the cabin finished. Enjoyed our weekends there. Now we've already had our big geocaching camping event in Ohio. It's called Midwest Geobash and it's in Wauseon, Ohio. It's just a tiny little town but boy I bet they love when we come to town. They had 1,389 people say they were coming and that's just the people who said they would be there. I know hundreds more just show up. 377 camp sites were booked in this huge fairgrounds. It's one heck of a party. People even fly in from other countries and I'm pretty sure all 50 states are represented. I know they were last year at least. We are in charge of the area where the night time bon fires are. It's called Area 51 because no one remembers it the next day haha. We have so much fun. This year was no different. Here is our camp area...
Our tent is in the middle under the one circus tent. The theme this year was circus. We had 9 different camper/tents in our section and we are all close friends so it was just a blast. I got this cool picture one day...
It was right over our campsite. X marks the spot for the place to be. Friendships. Smiles. Lots of laughs. It was a great 5 night camping trip. Next year is medieval theme and I am already looking forward to it. We have met so many wonderful people because of geocaching and this event brings everyone together for a whole lot of fun.

When Fred gets off work I bet you know where we are heading. Yep to the cabin. The work is mostly done on our cabin. I think we have just a bit more finishing touches on the deck. I know my dad always has things to do here and there but we will really be able to slow down and just enjoy our time there. Yep I have stitching packed to take with me.....just in case.

I hope everyone reading this has a great weekend.

Reading your posts exhaust me! I'm glad you had such a fantastic time away and are already looking forward to next year's event. I really don't know how you maintain such a busy lifestyle! July looks fab and definitely deserves to be on display a little longer. :)
