On a Mission

I was happy to see that Lone Star Quilter and Boots Tex, had planted a couple of boxes at Mission Tejas State Park. I have been there before and stamped in all the boxes and was thrilled that there were two more to find. I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it or not this week-end. I was contemplating if I could make plans to go when I got a call from Lucy Locket. Unfortunatly, she was not able to come home this week-end but, with her encouragement, and a sweet smile, I talked PSGuru into going along for the ride.
I was really, hoping to be first finder! It has been a long time since I was the first to stamp in a box and was hoping this was my chance, since there are not a lot of boxers in that area.
My Blue Butterfly was the first in BT's "Nabedache" box. There was already one stamp in LSQ's "Indian Trails" quilt block logbook. It was great fun and PsGuru enjoyed the hike as well. As we were hiking, we saw three deer trying as silently as possible get away from us. What a treat to see them!
The plants and trees were bright and clean after all the rain we have had. It was such a beautiful sight to see the sun streaming through the trees. I love morning time because it is always fresh and the slate is wiped clean as you start a new day.
If you are going to Mission Tejas State Park, make sure to print the clues for "The Sunflower" and "Wondering Hummingbird" by Jb Kokopelli. These two are nicely done and you will enjoy exploring Old Palastine Cemetery. Be sure to stop by the church and read it's history. It's quite a story.
We decided to make a circle by way of Nacodoghes and have lunch. I didn't get any boxes as I had not planned on Nac being part of the trip but, I did get lunch at Auntie's Pasta. Yummy!
