August 31st - August 31 is my birthday and believe it our not GCHR is throwing me a great big party - they named it the 11th GCHR picnic but that was just so I wouldn't know about all the plans. The turn out was fantastic and it is not every year when over 500 people sing you Happy Birthday!!! There will be another blog specifically for the picnic but thanks to everyone who attended!!!
Till next time - Stay Safe & Keep Caching!!!!
SNAP!!! - Suffolk Nana & Papa
Thanks to SNAP and the AACC mamy of us have souvenirs from days in the month when it would have been impractical to get out and make a find. Perhaps that is why the local area threw such a big birthday bash in your honor on the 31st. I started to get to know you in August. I am hoping I made a friend.
