Round Robin Challenge - WOOD

Welcome Robin's. This challenge is one I was so excited about I could not wait to post. I work in the wood industry so I of course have wood all around me. I made sure to ask the owners for permission to take some photo. I feel this is one of my best challenges so far. Please tell me what you think. Now remember to visit all the other Robin's. I had such a hard time just picking one so here they are:

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all the other Robin's out there. And just a reminder for you AOL users I can always visit but acn not comment.

Are there any happy People out there

I wonder are there any people out there that are happy. Maybe it is just me but I have to listen to how bad life is everyday from the same person. It is at the point that I do not even want to talk to this person. When I told this person about what is going on with Jim's mom. This persons issues were so much worse. I really am bothered by this type of behavior. It is not a contest to see who has more crap in their life. Heck, I would do anything not to have the problems that I have been dealt. I do not know just a question. Maybe I am just looking the wrong way at this.

Lost Phone

Here is the story. On Saturday I took the kids out Geocaching for the day. We had a plan of at least 15 caches to find. We were doing great until I realized on our way back from a cache that I realized that my phone feel out of my pocket of my sweatshirt. After returning to the car with the kids I told them I need to go back and get my phone. I found it where it fell out and was quite relived that I found it. Called Jim and told him Found my phone. He said I did not know you lost it. I decided that I should put it in my camera case from here on out. After a quick pit stop we were off and caching again. We ended up at Riverwalk park. I decided it was best if mom went to get the cache since it was on the other side of the river and was a steep climb and did not want the kids to get hurt. So I handed the camera and the camera bag to Brit and Little man. We logged our find and off we went to a bunch more. After about 45 min I realized I had no PHONE. I had only taken out the camera bag at Riverwalk park and our last stop. So, the kids and I retraced all the caches we had been at between the two. NO PHONE. OK, unable to call husband and find out if someone has called about the phone. Or even tell him I lost it. CRAP.
Off to home we go. Now, Jim, myself and the kids go back with his phone and start to look for it. No luck.
Now here is where it get juicy. We get back home and Jim says Call SPRINT. You had the location turned on on your phone they should be able to get you the coordinates.
Why didn't I think of that. I call them and tell them I lost my phone BUT I had the LOCATION on. So, if you could just give me the coordinates of the phone I could find it. That is what I do locate things with my GPS for fun. I hear I'm sorry we are unable to get that information. The only way to do it is if you had a phone already with the SUBSCRIPTION of locating on. Now I can not just turn it on and pay the $25.00 or what ever it costs so I can find my phone. No, I am sorry.
Now I am upset. I told them to turn the phone off. I have now sent an email to sprint in regards to being unhappy about this whole location thing. I'll keep you posted.
On, Sunday I got a new phone.
And guess what? Monday night I get a call telling me someone found my PHONE at RIVERWALK PARK. Go figure.
From now on I will leave the phone in the glove box.

Just thinking

I am really missing mom today. Knowing that tomorrow is Mothers Day. I usually am looking at all the wonderful plants and items for the yard for her. But I have yet to walk in to a greenhouse. I have no interest in doing my own planting. Every year I would try to get her a new a unique plant. That way when it came up the next year she could look at it and think of me. Now I go and see all the plants I have given her over the years and am sadden by the fact that she is not here to enjoy them. I have yet to decide what I am doing for Mothers Day. Am I going to my parents or am I going to stay home.
I have thought about going and doing some New State Park Geocaches early in the morning. But after that I have no clue.
I feel I may have to figure something out.

Aphid????

Aphid.
" Mom, we learned about Aphids in school today." Words out of a kindergartner's mouth.
" A what? " I proclaim.
" Yep, butterflies eat Aphids mom." Says my little man.
" He is learning about things that I am learning in school." explains Brit. ( who is in the 7th grade)
As mom is still dumb founded. So, what does mom do. What all moms do look it up.
Now I know.
Boy I feel stupid.
