This was a busy week for me with some work stress as a result of several closings getting shifted at the last minute. Last night we were away to Santa Rosa, FL so we could attend our Grandson's baseball game today. The game was delayed by rain so we only saw part of it. But they won and move on to the next match tomorrow. Yeah!
Thank you to all who shared last week.
Most of us do not take any special books on vacation and several people said they don't have time to read on vacation. How shocking! Several of us do like our readers as it makes it easier to travel with more reading material. :-)
Most all of us do plan vacations although four of us also do some spur of the moment vacations.
Really, I suppose even spur of the moment trips require some planning to pack. I for one wouldn't want to forget my electronics (computer, Kindle and mp3) and their cords!

WEEK #108 Questions
Q1. Margaret asks: Cowboy or Highlander??
A: Ok - I am assuming the question means which would you prefer to read. Although it could be asking which you might like to date! I like both for reading--sometimes I feel like a good Highlander tale and other times I want to read about a warm cowboy. [Since I'm married 27+ years I don't think about dating either type. :-)]
Q2. My non-bookish Question this week: Have you ever gone geocaching??
A: I didn't even know what geocaching was ("a free outdoor treasure hunt") until our California trip in November 2010. Our son and my stepson introduced us to the fun event and we raced around Monterey looking for caches! It was a fun part of that vacation. I am sharing several pictures: three of us looking, the very small container and how it was camouflaged! [I have linked the primary site to the word geocaching in case anyone wants to learn more about it.]

1. Still free and single I could both read and date I suppose, but joking aside, I don't really read books that include either one (so it's back to the date, ha).
ReplyDelete2. I've heard of geocoaching before but never participated though I imagine it must be a fun thing to do.
Congrats to the winner.
ReplyDelete1. I love to read about both. But to date, it's definitely a kilted Highlander. :)
2. First time I heard about it was from my niece a few years ago.
Never tried myself.

1. Neither. Not my genre, and not my type of guy.
ReplyDelete2. No, I have never geocached.
Q1: I enjoy reading stories that deal with both. I tend to read more cowboy stories than Highlanders but that is only because most of my favorite authors with cowboy stories. If I wasn't married I would date either one.
ReplyDeleteQ2: I did a geocaching about 5 years ago and enjoyed it. I want to do it again, but haven't had time to do one yet.
1. Cowboy
ReplyDelete2. I have never gone geocaching, it sounds like fun.
1. I like both; as long as it's a well written story.
ReplyDelete2. No.
Plenty of cowboys out where I live, so Highlander because it is foreign and I can pretend there isn't any cow muck.
ReplyDeleteNever been geocaching, but a neighbor hiked to the peak of our little moutain and found a coin that had instructions for a hunt like you describe. So, I guess they are everywhere. Sounds like fun.
Cowboy for sure.
ReplyDeleteNever gone geocaching before. My husband is not patient, so I'd never be able to try with him.
1. no preference
ReplyDelete2. no
1) Highlanders!!
ReplyDelete2) I have never heard of it before.
I usually prefer cowboys!
ReplyDeleteI have never been geocaching.

ReplyDelete2) i've heard of them but i never participated in one and i'm not interested to try either
1. It depends on what I feel like reading, but I love both cowboys and Highlanders.
ReplyDelete2. I've never been geocaching, but my daughter said it's more widespread then you might imagine. It sounds like a lot of fun.
1 - can't choose - love them both
ReplyDelete2 - didn't know about geocaching, but it sounds like it could be fun
Q1. Margaret asks: Cowboy or Highlander?? Tough choice, but I think I'm going to have to go with cowboy, simply because I haven't read any highlander stories yet for comparison!
ReplyDeleteQ2. My non-bookish Question this week: Have you ever gone geocaching?? I haven't! I have heard of geocaching, but I don't know that it's something that's popular around here.
Highlander, definitely. I love them!
ReplyDeleteI never heard about geocaching, sounds found and interesting! :)
