  1. "Song for a Fifth Child" by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton Found in book titled "Meditations for the Expectant Mother" Babies Don't Keep Mother, O mother, come shake out your cloth! Empty the dustpan, poison the moth, Hang out the washing and butter the bread, Sew on a button and make up a bed. Where is the mother whose house is so shocking? She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking! Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue (Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo). Dishes are waiting and bills are past due (Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo). The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo. Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue? (Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.) Oh, cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, But children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby. Babies don't keep.
  2. Pathtags are sort of a memento from people (usually geocachers) you have met. They are a small (1-inch?) disc containing a design and ID number that people trade with (or give to) people they meet. One side has a design with the other side just the base metal with an ID number and info on how to log your new tag to your collection. Each tag of a given design has the same ID number. The tags you receive can be logged under your collection at a non-GC.com location. I'm not sure I can post the URL to the site since it's not a Groundspeak site so do a Google search on "pathtags" and follow one of the top results for more info.
  3. Edit: Try a Google search. That's how I found it. I had the URL posted in this message but removed it after reading the top of the page that asks not to share the location.
  4. Nothing coin related today. There's always tomorrow.
  5. Glad to say, the Frozen Buns coins came in today and will start shipping tomorrow Let me know if you don't have it by next week Thanks. I saw that after posting.
  6. Got my black nickel blond and redhead coins today. They look great. Now I'm thinking I should maybe have ordered the other two colors.
  7. Two packages in today's mail: - CCC coin - Lucky Ladys BN Blonde & Redhead - Fall Into Caching Antique Copper Vegas Gamblers and a GSA coin came late last week. Wow, 2 mystery coins in a week! Thanks to GSA and CCC. Waiting for GCC, Frozen Buns and some preorders that haven't shipped yet.
  8. Found a package in the mailbox a couple of days ago with a Bering Sea return address. Inside was a GSA coin. Woohoo! I checked with the neighbors but nobody remembered seeing anyone suspicious near the mailbox. That's not surprising though given the GSA's talents. Thanks so much GSA. Looking forward to seeing a v2 coin. Agent #047 reporting for duty.
  9. Coin 285 showed up in today's mail. Return address was in Texas but stamps were marked Pennsylvania. I guess that makes it Texylvania. Thanks CCC!!!
  10. You could also log the retrieval and then have him grab it from you. No need to log the TB into a cache.
  11. Congratulations! Sex of baby (we don't know yet) : Boy Date of Birth: Nov 30 Time of Birth: 0030 hrs Weight: 8 pounds 9 oz Length (will be used for a tie breaker): 19.7 inches
  12. Got to a computer later than I wanted but was still able to get an order in for the ones I wanted. Thanks.
  13. Or edit the attributes for the cache and remove the Needs Maintenance attribute (under Conditions section).
  14. Thanks so much CCC for the generosity! This coin will definitely remain a part of my collection and not get sold.
  15. Congrats to the recent finders. I'm a little bummed out though. I saw one was placed in a cache relatively close to work yesterday so figured I'd try to grab it. Got to the cache this morning but someone must have beaten me to it. No sign of a coin in the container and no clue in the log. Oh well, fingers still crossed.
  16. Congrats to recent (and past) finders. I'm still on the lookout for the GSA. The last time he was here, I didn't have the location for his visit (darn puzzle caches) and someone else was the lucky finder.
  17. Congrats to recent finders. I'm still on the lookout for one that may have fallen through a time warp but had a great time reading the stories and looking at the photos posted here. Happy (belated) Halloween
  18. Order placed. Had problems getting it in via my default browser (Firefox) but was able to complete the process using Safari. Email sent with error info.
  19. The link in the OP did not work. It looks like part was omitted. Here's one that does get to the English version of the page. http://www.geocache-info.de/pages/en.php
