Geocache Description:

In the words of Eyeore, “It’s my birthday. The happiest day of the year.” It’s time for a New Year celebration. The beginning of 2008 and the beginning of my 8th decade! You are invited to celebrate with me. Rum-tum-tum-tiddle-um.

Date: New Year's Day, January 1, 2008

When: between 2 and 5 pm you will be just in time for a "little smackerel of something."

Where: go to the posted coordinates and follow the signs for the last half mile from there.

Food: there will be coffee, tea, birthday cake and snacks. Bring nothing unless you have leftover holiday food that you want to share.

Gifts: NONE – at my age, you no longer receive gifts, you already have too much “stuff” and need to give things away. I'm going to start by donating my ponytail to Locks of Love.

A few years ago, I visited a library in NYC where the original Pooh animals reside. They show signs of lots of love and Eyeore’s tail is truly held on by a nail. Check out (visit link) for more informaiton. Someday I hope to visit England and see the Hundred Acre Woods.

My favorite “Pooh” quotation is found in The House at Pooh Corner. It is A. A. Milne’s description of the river where Pooh and friends played Poohsticks. I find it to be a wonderful analogy of life:

“By the time it came to the edge of the Forest the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved more slowly. For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, “There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” But all the little streams higher up in the Forest went this way and that, quickly, eagerly, having so much to find out before it was too late.
“So they would lie down and watch it . . . and it slipped away very slowly, being in no hurry to get there.
“For a long time they looked at the river beneath them, saying nothing, and the river said nothing too, for it felt very quiet and peaceful on this summer afternoon.”

So if you have time, stop by for a visit. You can say nothing and be quiet and peaceful on a winter afternoon. Or you can visit with fellow cachers to your heart’s content and even head out for a few local caches. I may even hide a few new ones for you.

Tra-la-la, tra-la-la,
Rum-tum-tiddle-um-tum.
