Team OleOmi

I was a Games Magazine fanatic back in the late 60s and early 70s...loved the word and math puzzles...got all illogical on the logic stuff...lol...I would like to reserve one coin...and I know, hard as I might try on the website, there are at least 26 geocoin fanatics smarter than me to snatch up those LEs...

What is your name (caching name is fine), location, age, and occupation.Team OleOmi consists of Carole (ole) 59 and Naomi (omi) 60..Ole is the geocoin addict...Omi collects pins and siggy items...we live in Texarkana, TX...I'm medically retired and Omi is a convenience store slave 2.

Then we had 2 carabiineers, 2 elephant erasers, 2 mini-Sharpies, a bag of Animal Crackers for Omi (she loves those things), and a beautiful porcelain plate picturing an Elephant, of course. Omi also grabbed the Team CoyChev MWGB signature wooden duck....she gets all the signature stuff if it's not round and won't fit in a coin flip...lol. As if this all weren't enough, I (Ole) received a teal Pirannah, a nickel Letterboxing, a nickel Hot Dog coin, and a LB4T MWGB duckie!!

Thank you very much, our Not-So-Secret Santa...hugs and kisses and wishes for a Blessed Holiday...

All I wanna know is...how did you get pictures of my late, great kitties/!

Nice design...great idea...especially love the butts...any cat parent knows that view...lol

Prayers, hugs, positive thoughts, and much love to Tank, Tracy and family...we lit a candle to help the positive energy flow your way....
