Did you know that Johnny was born here and died in Fort Wayne, my hometown. I think that's an interesting coincidence that I was unaware of until this week.
I have also learned that this is the home of the pink flamingo. Leominster's role in the plastics industry has earned it the nickname of Plastic City. During our searches for geocaches, we have seen a few of these.
We have been on numerous searches for geocaches. Not all of them have been successful though. Some just don't seem to be there anymore or we just cannot see them. But each have taken us to lovely forests and trails. Well, almost all of them have. I finally remembered to use insect spray today and haven't noticed any new bites today.
While searching today, I found a QR sticker and got curious. After scanning it, I discovered a whole new game being played with smartphones that kind of a combination of geocache and Pokemon Go. It turns out that it's been around since 2011 and I will add it to my treasure seeking.

Shannon has been playing Pokemon Go and was capturing the creatures while we ate lunch yesterday.

I have been trying to move more. I finally broke down and got a FitBit. So I am starting low and going slow but hope to start hitting some of my goals soon. I go by katalong if you want to friend my FitBit. I have also discovered www.charitymiles.org to make the most of all this walking that I have been doing. Nicolle, imagine how much money you could raise for your favorite charity!
We have been watching Game of Thrones. I think that I am the only adult that has never seen an episode and I have so many to watch. But it's great to watch while practicing my SCRABBLE playing.
We have accomplished little packing this week but I am sure that Shannon will pull off another move, like she always does. It's hard not to nag but I am trying to do my best to just enjoy this time with my daughter. I am so looking forward to her moving to Chicago, it will be the closest that we have lived together in her adult life. I plan to head back home on Thursday afternoon. I am ready to hit the road and sleep in my bed for a bit before my next adventure.
Kathy, Johnny Appleseeds real name was John Chapman. He was my great, great, great grandmother Isabelle's uncle. My parents and siblings were just in Fort Wayne for a family reuion. Have fun!
