My Shoes Are Wet....



...because I followed in Puddle Splasher's footsteps!


I decided to take a trip up to McKinney today to find a few boxes by Blue Butterfly, Puddle Splasher, and Boots Tex. I left my home around 8:00 or so and was on the trail by about 10:00. I first went to Erwin Park and found the LET'S DO LUNCH SERIES. I met quite a few bikers on the trail, and they were all quite friendly. I also found MAKE A WISH...OR TWO and HORN 1867. The weather was quite nice and I enjoyed the morning at Erwin Park.




After finishing up there, I headed over to a local cemetery to find THE WIZARD OF GAUZE: WHO'S YOUR MUMMY? This was a fun stamp that had originally been carved for the Yellow Brick Road event, and was placed in it's permanent home in McKinney.



After this, I went to Towne Lake Park and stamped into FOLK ART SERIES: QUILTING followed by going to McLarry Cemetery and stamping into FOLK ART SERIES: PRIMITIVE PAINTING.



I headed to El Dorado Street to find the cemetery and find my final box for the day. The next box on my docket was one of Boots Tex's Governor Series boxes. I went in the wrong entrance, but it didn't take me long to make my way to the West side of the cemetery and find the appropriate landmarks. After I found the box and was leaving, I called Blue Butterfly to give her a report, but when I told her I'd found only one in that cemetery, she let me know there was another box in that same cemetery. I turned around and went back inside, and found another Puddle Splasher box. Thanks to Blue Butterfly for your help on that box!




Finally, it was time to return to Navarro County. I came home, kicked off my shoes, and admired my finds :-)
When is Lucy Locket coming home??
