Thanksgiving Boxing

What better to way to spend Thanksgiving Day than to get out on the trails and box!! It was a beautiful day and I had enjoyed a turkey with all the trimmings. What else would make this day complete? Getting on the trails and finding some new stamps to add to my collection. Lucy Locket was here and how could I pass up the opportunity to box with her? We decided to head to Rusk/New Summerfield area to find some new boxes there. We were not disappointed! The Seven Dwarfs were lurking in places I had never seen before. After leaving Doc well hidden we headed to find Sleepy. Much to our surprise, there was someone else at the cemetery where we needed to find the box. As we walked toward the gate, the man in the car asked us if we were LB'er's!!! YES! We had finally met someone on the trail! This is the first time this had happened to me and I was so excited. He begin to tell me a little about himself, and the light came on! Purpleintexkim!!! I was so glad to meet her and her family. They are new boxers and excited about it! We were the first LB'er's they had ever met besides the Atoy Adventurer's who introduced them to boxing. What a treat to find a new friend and be FF's on a couple of boxes. They were after the same series we were. They beat us to 5 of them. (there of course are 7 total) We chatted for a while and exchanged stamps and went away with a new stamp, new exchange and best of all a new friend!! I love Letterboxing!
