  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.

     

     

    Fairly new to all this and was wondering what a Pathtag is????

     

    THANKS!

     

    I'm glad you liked my PathTag! They are so much fun, I could come up with designs for them all day! There's a Pathtag club, I'll send you some info on it!

  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. 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.

     

    Glad to say, the Frozen Buns coins came in today and will start shipping tomorrow :unsure: Let me know if you don't have it by next week :ph34r:

     

    Thanks. I saw that after posting.

  6. 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.

  7. I suppose that I could log it as a find, but then, I'd have to turn around, log it into a virtual cache, then have him retrieve it. Does This make any sense :laughing: ?

     

    You could also log the retrieval and then have him grab it from you. No need to log the TB into a cache.

  8. 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. :D Oh well, fingers still crossed.
