Murphey's 1st Christmas - Hail Mary

 Murphy's 1st Christmas  -  Hail Mary

Our Family has a somewhat unusual tradition involving acceptance or rejections Postcards from the NFL.  (Mostly rejections.)   For well over 20 years, our Son, the Dallas cowboy Fanatic, has had us send requests for the Superbowl Ticket Lottery.  

So every year we all get a postcard telling us if we have won the privilege of buying tickets or not.   We actually have lucked out a few times and have been able to go.  I hope to tell more about that in other LBs.   I gave this box its name because the lottery is our own version of a Hail Mary.  

Clue:
1. Go to Riverwoods Shopping center in Orem and park in the South-east corner parking lot.  


2. You will see two wooden bridges on Provo River Parkway as it crosses over  a rocks strewn draining.  Start at the southern most bridge.  


3. Between the two bridges you will see a cluster of 4 evergreen trees.   Find the northernmost tree.  It should be almost parallel to the signs in the photo. 


4. Look at the rocks in the drainage until you see the on with the x.  X marks the spot.  The box is underneath the X.  




Enjoy.  

Murphey's First Christmas - Gingies for Rob

When our Grand daughter and her Husband were approaching their first Christmas Together, I decided to make Letter-boxes for them and use some of them to tell about Christmas Traditions in our Family. 

I have a recipie for Gingies, (Cookies) which I love. No one else in the family is crazy about them until our Grandson-in-law came along. Now I don't have to feel guilty about pushing Gingies on anyone. 

Clues

In Spanish Fork, go west on 100 south until you get to Spanish Fields Drive (1000 West). Follow Spanish Fields Drive until it ends and you can’t go any further. Turn right and park on the side of the street before you drive over the bridge. Cross over the the walking/bike path on the east side of the road and begin there.

Walk along until you have had the opportunity to learn about Willow Trees and Ground hogs. 

Now look for the clues in the photos. To the left of the rocks is a large fold in the tarp upon which the rocks are set to protect the riverbank. You will find the Box underneath the biggest fold in the tarp. (The fold that goes back toward the river.  Box is on the river-side.) 

Enjoy.

Murphey's 1st Christmas Letterboxes

This is a series of boxes I made for our Granddaughter and her husband for their first Christmas together.  

I first hid them around their home and yard. Now I am planting them for all to enjoy.

They each represent a tradition in our family.  It is a fun way to introduce them to our new family member. 

OH, I was not able to finish all of them, but will continue to make and add to this series anyway.  

The photos is of their First Christmas Tree, which you can see is a hat tree.  They could't afford a real tree so they used their imagination.  Clever.
