A Tin Lizzie and a Weeping Angel

After poor Lucy Locket spent the better part of the day at the shop with her car, she was still game to go letterboxing in Marshall. It was such a beautiful day, even though the wind was still chilly. I had fun surfing the net at McAlister's until she arrived. We had lunch and made our way to a fun day collecting stamps for our logbooks. I had already stamped in most of these boxes, but I so wanted LL to get the images left there by Boots Tex and Lone Star Quilter. JB Kokopelli saved the day for me as she had placed a couple of boxes around Marshall that I did not have. It was a lot of fun going back to the boxes I had already visited. The Scottsville Cemetery is a historic place to visit and I enjoyed going back there and seeing The Weeping Angel. We both were about to go crazy because we had not been able to letterbox much this winter. I am ready for Spring!!!!
It was a very long day for LL, but I am so glad she and I had another adventure!

Sweet Tea

Sitting at McAlister's waiting for Lucy Locket to make her way here for lunch and letterboxing in Marshall. We tryed last week-end to make this trek but things just did not fall in place for it to happen. We are determined on this beautiful day to find some treasures and add some nice images to our logbooks.

One week from today, will be the annual letterboxing gathering for the state of Texas! WOOHOO! This year's location is Ottine, Tx. Home to Palmetto SP. Can't wait to pitch my tent and have fun with some of the nicest people in the state!

A Great Week-end!!

We arrived at Stinky Monkey and Roarin’ Lions house and unloaded the Christmas gifts and the fun began. What fun it was to watch SM, RL and Baby Sister unwrap their gifts! We were also celebrating Baby Sister’s Birthday. She turns three on jan. 30th. We waited for Lucy Locket to arrive before we had the birthday celebration. With much delight, we saw LL pull into the driveway. Hugs and smiles were once again exchanged as They opened their gifts from LL. We sang Happy Birthday to Baby Sister, let her open her gifts, and had some tasty cake before headed to the hotel.
I had high hopes that we would be able to grab a couple of boxes Sat. Afternoon, but the rain kept us inside our room. Even though we were stuck inside they had fun playing with some of the toys they received as gifts.
After an exciting and fun filled day, we all retired for the night, hoping the rain would stop by morning so we could do some letterboxing.
We awoke Sunday morning to a much better day. It was still could but, it wasn’t raining. I had high hopes that we would be able to hit the trail for On this trip, I decided some treasures. After breakfast, LL and I got together and mapped out our plan of action. I had clues for three boxes, so we loaded the kids and PSGuru and made our way over to “Ray Lum Mule Skinner”. Since we were boxing on an early Sunday morning, it was very easy to grab this box and stamp in. Next we made our way to a small community by the name, Bovina to stamp in a newly planted box by a new boxer titled “St. Albans” Nice location. We would have liked to stay here longer and take photos of the church but, being Sunday, they were having services so, we quietly stamped in and left. Hopefully, we will get back to this location sometime in the future and take some time to wonder around this very historic cemetery.

Down at the river wall, the City of Vicksburg has commissioned some beautiful murels depicting the history of the city. There is a box planted at this location that has eluded me for quite a while. This trip, I decided I was pretty sure of the location of this elusive box. Slowly making our way down to the river wall, I kept a watch out for the landmark mentioned in the clue. Eureka! I saw what I believed to be the location I was looking for. With the clue in hand, I made my way up the hill to begin my search. To my (and LL’s) great delight, I found the box! Thanks Corazon! Nice stamp and great location.
It was so nice to letterbox with SM and RL again. There are so few boxes in Mississippi, that we don’t get to find very many boxes with them anymore. It was a great week-end!

A fun time!

December was a very busy month for our family as it is with everyone. We could not match our work/ time-off schedules, plus I left on Dec, 26th the go on a mission trip to Mexico. Our first opportunity to have Christmas with Stinky Monkey, Roarin’ Lion, and Baby Sister. It was raining as we left to make our way to Vicksburg where they live. We stopped in Shreveport to have breakfast, all the while hoping the rain would stop. Lucy Locket was a couple of hours behind us, making her way to see her nephews and niece. I know they are very anxious to open their gifts, and I am very excited about seeing them again. I miss my letterboxing companions. I am hoping the weather will be good so we can stamp in a couple of boxes while we are there. I brought all our letterboxing ‘stuff” and a couple of clues. There’s a new box in Vicksburg that I am hoping to try and find. There are so few boxes in the area, that it is hard to do any letterboxing. Thanks to Corazon, we have been able to collect several stamps while in the area,
