Perfect Day

A perfect Day


Cathy and I were going on a Fall Foliage Cruise (my birthday gift from her).

They served us warm caramel pecan rolls along with coffee and tea as soon as we set sail. As we made our way to the outer decks, the weather was perfect with clouds peeking through the blue skies, the sunrays beaming down to warm the breeze from the Mississippi River. We both were looking forward to seeing the foliage, the brilliantly dressed foliage by Mother Nature. The trees were not fully dressed, we saw a preview of their “Sunday’s Best”.

The tour was in progress for about an hour lunch was served lunch with turtle cheesecake for dessert.

The four-hour tour up the Mississippi River was wonderful and to think the perfect day was not over. We attended a small art/craft show “Scarecrow Row” in Eldridge before going Geocacheing

Now I have to remind you that both of us are smart women. Cathy drove and I interpreted the GPS, we traveled up to but not to the point of the log several times, turning around on gravel farm road several times between the laughter we found the spot an old over grown cemetery.

If you do not know, I will remind you I am afraid of bugs! Cathy had me looking for a logbook while tramping through weeds, turning stones over, picking up sticks, looking in trees to no avail.

I cannot tell you when I have had such a wonderful day with a FRIEND. We shared storied of our families, our love of photography and she taught me about geocaching.

I took over 400 photos to document the day and will share some of them with you during the up coming days.

It is a blessing to have a Friend like Cathy.
