  1. hmmmm hard to decide what to put on my bucket list. Never really gave it a lot of thought until now... 1) Alaskan cruise 2) visit New Zealand 3) get a motor home and just drive around Canada and the US 4) grow old with my hubby and watch Beky grow up...you'll find us in rocking chairs holding hands playing with grandkids and tell them lots of crazy stories about geocoins. LOL 5) appreciate each day
  2. Here is PengoBeky and her collection...
  3. If it is this geocoin it was Not trackable on geocaching.com but on their own website (Canada geocoins). It has been in circulation since March 2002. Are you looking how to track this coin, trade it, etc?
  4. hmmm no post, but which Canada geocoin did you find? Is it yours or one you picked up as a traveller? Thanks!
  5. Welcome to the geocoin forums! Please take a look at the pinned topics at the top as they may be helpful in answering some general questions about geocoins. If you have a question and cannot find an answer feel free to post your question.
  6. I don't see that geocoin in the cache's inventory and the number that you have recorded seems a bit too long. Can you describe what the coin looked like? Or you may contact RainbowDykes as they are the ones who dropped the coin into the cache. Good luck!
  7. PengoMommy entry: For me it would have to be my favorite book growing up; Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Anne's character is such a stubborn, imaginative and creative girl. She has a free spirit and I think it's a great story for 'kids' of any age. As a girl I used to imagine having adventures just like Anne. Here is a great description from wikipedia: Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, middle-aged siblings who live together at Green Gables, a farm in Avonlea, on Prince Edward Island, decide to adopt a boy from an orphan asylum in Nova Scotia as a helper on their farm. Through a series of mishaps, the person who ends up under their roof is a precocious girl of eleven named Anne Shirley. Anne is bright and quick, eager to please but dissatisfied with her name, her pale countenance dotted with freckles, and with her long braids of red hair. Being a child of imagination, however, Anne takes much joy in life, and adapts quickly, thriving in the environment of Prince Edward Island. The rest of the book recounts her continued education at school, where she excels in studies very quickly, her budding literary ambitions and her friendships with people such as Diana Barry (her best friend, "bosom friend" as Anne fondly calls her), Jane Andrews, Ruby Gillis, and her rivalry with Gilbert Blythe, who teases her about her red hair and for that acquires her hatred, although he apologizes many times. Anne and Gilbert compete in class and Anne one day realizes she no longer hates Gilbert, but will not admit it. The book also follows her misadventures in quiet, old-fashioned Avonlea. These adventures include her games with her friendship group (Diana, Jane and Ruby), her rivalries with the Pye sisters (Gertie and Josie) and her domestic mistakes such as dyeing her hair green. Anne, along with Gilbert, Ruby, Josie, Jane and a couple of others, eventually goes to the Queen's Academy and obtains a teaching license in one year, in addition to winning the Avery Prize in English, which allows her to pursue a B.A. at Redmond College. The book ends with Matthew's death, caused by a heart attack after learning of the loss of all his and Marilla's money. Anne shows her devotion to Marilla and Green Gables by giving up the Avery Prize, deciding to stay at home and help Marilla, whose eyesight is diminishing, and teaching at the Carmody school, the nearest school available. To show his friendship, Gilbert Blythe gives up his teaching position in the Avonlea School to work at White Sands School instead, thus enabling Anne to teach at the Avonlea School and stay at Green Gables all through the week. After this kind act, Anne and Gilbert become best friends.
  8. Entry for PengoBeky 6 years old. I asked PengoBeky which story she would like to live in and got 2 answers. Sleeping Beauty and the Little Mermaid. Sleeping Beaty because PengoBeky thinks her dresses are the prettiest out of all the Disney Princesses...she really likes pink. And the Little Mermaid because she would love to swim in the ocean and have adventures.
  9. Knock Knock Who's there ! Toronto ! Toronto who ? Toronto be a law against knock knock jokes ! What is the slogan on the automotive license plates in Nova Scotia? Canada's Ocean Playgound. Nova Scotia is almost completely surrounded by water. Thanks for the cointest!!
  10. I am looking for the following coins please: -Peace on Earth suncatcher sold by HogWild and designed by loridarlin -Mystery Christmas Compass by geoswag -Peace Dove suncatcher by geoswag I have the coin shown below for trade. If you are interested please contact me. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
  11. PGH your post is just a riot!! This year for Christmas Eve we will be attending church for a candlelit service. I do agree about Christmas morning about how kids just somehow manage to NOT sleep in. I know we will be awoken by our daughter, PengoBeky by 6:00 am. But the excitement on her face is just too cute and we will go open gifts. My problem is not all the gifts that need to be put together it is trying to take the gifts out of the box. The way they tie down toys with all those silly twist ties and pieces of plastic and elastic bands... Then I spend the rest of the day cooking with the hubby. The MIL comes over in the afternoon and a few more gifts are opened. Then we eat until we feel like the stuffed turkey. But we feel very blessed this time of year and enjoy every minute that we have together...even when we argue about how long things need to cook and when they should be started. Merry Christmas everyone!!
  12. Maybe I am a bit biased for this category but I have to say the 2008 Avalanche event coin.
  13. Today I received a beautiful card and pathtag from Mustang Joni. Thanks so much for your generosity!! Merry Christmas!!
  14. Here is the latest update being sent out. While I bite my tongue there are obvious contradictions if you read some prior info in this thread........ Hi Everyone! Sorry I have been slacking off by updates, but I have been working my a** off for the past month and a half - Just to let you know.. Titanic tracking numbers have been ordered but I have yet to receive them from Groundspeak - However, the coins shall be coming to you shortly (very shortly). My payment information has been transmitted to the mint. For those of you still supporting me, I really appreciate it. Not long ago, someone contacted me privately with an offer to purchase my coins and ultimately my customer list for the purpose of advertising and gaining their own customer list - I kindly said thank you, but I will do this on my own. This communication (with attachments, if any) is covered by the U.S.C. Sec. 2510-252, is confidential, and intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above. If the reader of this message is not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution, or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited. If you receive this communication in error, notify us immediately, return the document(s), and destroy all copies of the original message. Lady Lucks will follow Titanics and I know it's been a long time coming, but as I have said once before, I am a man of my word and will get these coins to you PRIOR to producing any others. Having said that - I have 4 designs ready to go behind these, so I have not simply disappeared off the face of the earth. Once faith in my company name is restored, you will be seeing some beautiful stuff coming from me. Whether or not you choose to purchase from me again is entirely up to you. Preorders are a thing of the past with me - so if you see it in my webstore - I have it IN HAND. I have been in contact with Paula, and she and I are being amicable, but the process is still slow with her. Thats's where I am at the moment - I hope you all are well. Christmas is just another day I survive, but I am surviving. Warmest Regards to you all ~

  20. You know your a Geocoin addict when in passing you hear someone mention the word sun, sunrise or bay and you get a nervous twitch thinking you have just missed tsun's newest coin for sale.
  21. You know you're a geocoin addict when instead of reading bedtime stories to your kids you pull out the geeocoin binder and read to them the text on each coin.
