Find the Treasure

---

This husband and I…

Had a daring Indiana Jones adventure…up in the Hill Country…near the heart of Texas…decked out in excursion garb…dandy hat…explorer’s boots…handy backpack…and keeping a keen eye out for snakes…

We hunted for treasure...not the Lost Ark…or the Crystal Skull…but my Mr.’s kind of treasure…waiting to be discovered by us…somewhere on the Lindsay Ranch…

Acres and acres…we traipsed…rocks as far as the eye could see…digging…sifting…finding beautiful granite…and rose quartz…but the real search…was for topaz…supposedly found in large numbers…in Mason County…

This old gal squatted…and dug…and scraped…oohing and ahhing at the nuggets…pretending she'd know topaz if she found it…when honestly…she wouldn’t know topaz…if it bit her in the a….nkle…

But something emerged...in one of the piles…that looked like the topaz we’d been shone…so maybe…maybe…

A treasure comes home with us…along with multiple bags of oh-so-useful rocks…and a new hunt is on…locating someone…who knows topaz…from a piece of glass…

But if not…there’s no gloom or doom…for…it's sure…this will not be…our last crusade….in search of…that perfect stone…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
