Milepost 4302: Texas Rangers and the Lost Purse!

     The sky was beautiful this morning: Bright blue with powder-puff clouds. The fields matched - full of yellow and white wildflowers. A great day to be on the road!
     Our first plan of the day was a visit to the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco. We were rewarded with an easy in-city drive to get there and an easy going staff who told us we could park anywhere! What a difference compared to our attempt to visit The Alamo! We enjoyed the museum and the very informative video, then moved on.
     Around dinnertime, banana splits were sounding pretty good, so we stopped at the Gatesville Dairy Queen. We discovered magic straws there that can color your whole drink red or blue...
     Farther down the road, like 75 miles and a couple of hours later, Tom sent me a text message while we were stopped at a picnic area. It immediately made me question the where-abouts of my purse. I'd left it at Dairy Queen!
     So, we turned around... The staff there was great. They'd tried to flag us down as we left, but we'd left too quickly! They held my purse in hope of our return...
     We are spending the night in Gatesville, Texas.

I love country roads!

Look at all those wildflowers in that field!
