  1. Gatoulis!

    Of course my dear friend, I will accept your offer to become my campaign manager!!

     

    Ouzo for everyone!! (those of age of course, we wouldn't want to break any laws!)

     

    Opa!!!

     

    Ouzo :blink: Okay, that won me over-I vote for................ catsnfish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. When I was going through my stuff after the GeoWoodstock Meet and Greet Luau I found a Goofy Cacher coin.

     

    I really truly never expected to see one of these so it was majorly cool.

     

    Interestingly and fittingly I had lost my cell phone at the event and was majorly bummed. It's hard to make phone calls on a cell phone, but getting this mystery coin nearly made up for the missing cell phone...

     

    p.s. The cell phone was found, made its way to Geowoodstock and was returned to me the next day.

    Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was so nice to meet you this weekend! I didn't know about your phone, but I'm glad you got it back........

  3. Today #65 found it's way into my mailbox! This coin holds a couple of special meanings to me; THANK YOU SO MUCH WHOEVER YOU ARE! I took quite a few pictures of it, but interesting enough the best picture was with my cat Nikos, who was hit by a car a year ago. He shouldn't still be here today, but as you all can see he is alive and well. His recovery was long, but he runs around like a little kitten now :lol: Perhaps he best knows how precious life is............

    What a wonderful surprise that found it's way into my mailbox today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for lighting up my day :grin:

  4. Wow, I am lucky to be part of the New World Order :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How did this coin come to me during such a hard week; do you have E.S.P.????????? I won't go into details, but suffice it to say I was absolutely exhausted when I got home after working and then volunteering at the cat shelter this evening. When I checked the mailbox and saw an envelope from me to me it was amazing! I was so excited; and then when I opened it :lol: , WOW! What a gorgeous coin, beautifully designed, and HEAVY! Here are a couple of pictures of my amazing gift. THANK YOU so much, you don't know how much you did for me today :lol:

  5. Hmmm, it's been a while since anyone commented on this mission :laughing:

     

    Maybe thats because it takes a while for a package to get from South Carolina to Oregon :(:D:D:D

     

    Yep, in the mailbox today was a package with ALLLL kinds of goodies in it including three coins, one of which is Chickahominy's beautiful personal coin :D Also a magnetic key holder, a bison tube, a waterproof match carrier, a geocaching lanyard, a bracelet and a patch!!!!!!!

    Thank you so, so much Chickahominy, this was a fun mission :(

  8. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    As my husband was coming in with the mail, I looked at what he was holding and I spotted THE golden bubble mailer. I ran to him and told him it was probably something very special. I had a pretty good idea what it was since I read about it in the forum but didn't expect to be lucky enough to receive one. He looked at the return adress and it was ours. He was as excited as I was and we opened the envelope together. And, there it was, a Seize The Day coin. It gave me a boost of energy that was really needed after a bad cold that lasted over 3 weeks :D

     

    Our coin is number 009, what a coincidence ;)

     

    Wyatt Earp is posing with the coin. As you can see, he didn't get as excited as we did :P

    Thanks a lot mystery sender, we really appreciate the thought!

    :anicute:

     

    Looks like Wyatt was hoping for a doggie treat instead :D

     

    Oh Claire, congratulations! You have been going through some hard times and I am so glad to see this!!!!!

  9. lorca was so kind as to send me a breast cancer coin after I posted looking for those, and sent a super kind email that was very thoughtful and just brightened my mood at a time when I was really struggling. That kindness of a stranger, someone I'd never met and who was so generous to me, sure makes me think that lorca.nl was a very deserving recipient of this mystery geocoin. I'm sure others who got one also did something to deserve that gesture from the mystery giver, but I definitely am glad that lorca got one!

     

    I completely agree with you :D

  10. Our event here in Oregon went really well!!!! With well over 200 people the group shot got a little tricky and the fire department (which was across the street) briefly shut down the road for us so that we could get a good picture without our photographer getting run over. We found out later that the chief of the fire department is a geocacher :unsure: It was a very good time!
