The Milford Memory Box is going away

We stopped at the park a week ago and found the cache missing. None of the groups that do maintenance at the park took the box, so we have to assume it was stolen. The Milford Cabinet will run a news item about this, with contact information. We hope to get the box back so we can scan the photos to post here.

Whether or not we get the cache box back, we intend to retire the cache. I may well place a cache closer to home in Wilton. I’ll post about it when that happens.

In the meantime, many thanks to the people who signed the log and left memories. It made our first geocache quite a memorable one.

Welcome to the new geocaching blog!

We have combined our two previous Blogger geocaching blogs into one WordPress blog. This is a much better platform and we look forward to enjoying the greater flexibility and control that WordPress will give us.

We Haven’t Vanished…

…really, we haven’t. The Milford Memory Box continues to see lots of visits from geocachers.

Our own geocaching activities died off severely over the winter, and we’re busy enough now that I’m not sure when we’ll go seeking again. But rest assured that the Memory Box will still be maintained.

The Box currently contains around a half dozen memories, which we are hoping to retrieve soon for posting to this blog. Once we’ve done that, they will be returned to the Box for geocachers to view as well.

Administrivia Day

I am removing the “Recently Updated Blogs” frame from the side bar. Since I have retired five blogs - and consolidated their subjects under a single new blog - there is far less for readers to keep up with.

Here’s the list of currently active blogs:

I Knit Around - This is now my primary blog, covering knitting (and other fiber-crafting), cooking, geocaching, and anything else that happens that isn’t beading. This will likely be posted to from 3 to 5 times a week.
Confessions of a Chantraphile - My beading blog remains as a separate entity. I expect I’ll post here at least once or twice a week.
Folkcat’s Craft Library - You can still browse through my craft book collection - at least as fast as I get it entered. Since each entry is a catalog listing for a book, this could be posted to once a week, once a month, or ten times in a day.
The Milford Memory Box - Once we have items worth collecting from the Memory Box and posting, this will be where to find them. Posting here will likely be very sporadic, as the Memory Box collection doesn’t grow quickly.

My retired blogs will remain available as archives. You can reach them through my web hub at Jenny Kubeck on the Web.

Retired Blog

As of September 23, 2005, this blog has officially been retired. The archives will be maintained for any who wish to browse them, but there will be no new posts.

My adventures continue, however, and you can keep reading them at my new blog, I Knit Around.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you’ll stay with me on the next leg of my journey.

It’s About Time

As of tomorrow, this blog and four others will be retired. They will be replaced with my new blog, I Knit Around, to which I have been cross-posting this week.

The blogs that are retiring are:

I have found that under my current reality, I want a single blog that presents an integrated view of these aspects of my life, since any given day may see several of these subjects mixed together.

If you are a regular reader of any of these five blogs, please join me at the new site. It will contain all the topics you’ve been reading about until now, only they will be presented in context as a part of my whole life, not just one aspect. The URL to bookmark is:

http://www.folkcatart.com/knitaround

Three other blogs will remain separate. They are:

The first of these is my beading blog, and that subject still has enough life of its own to merit a dedicated blog. The last two aren’t entirely used as blogs - they are more like project-specific databases. And so they stay as well.

At some point, I’ll be changing my homepage as well. It has served as a central hub for all my blogs, and obviously that purpose changes somewhat now. I will likely be using a blog format there, with links on the sidebar and current news and updates listed in the posts.

My thanks to all of you (it’s what, at least three, right?) who have been reading my oft-times odd posts. I enjoy what blogging does as it helps me examine my life and strive to find better focus and understanding.

Personal Geocaching - Bogged Down, But There’s Hope.

Gryphon and I haven’t been able to get out and geocache much for most of a month. With the brake lines on his truck needing replacing - and not being able to pay a garage to do it - we’ve been stuck at home every weekend while Gryphon does the job himself.

It’s been quite the saga, and Gryphon’s telling the story in a multi-chapter format over at his blog. The first chapter can be found here.

The brake lines are finished as of last weekend, though, and they seem to be holding up. So we have every reason to expect that, come this weekend, we may be able to get out and find another cache somewhere.

Just keep your fingers crossed for the weather!
