The gals first traveled to Paint Rock, Texas to visit Ingrid's Handwoven Rugs. There the women were given a tour of the shop and were able to see first-hand how mohair, alpaca, and even buffalo fibers were woven into spools and then woven into various types and sizes of rugs!
From Paint Rock, the Ladies traveled toward Ballinger where they stopped to see the Cross which stands 100 ft. tall and 70 ft. across. It can be seen from miles around during the day but especially at night when it is lit up. Also on the grounds, the Ladies were able to enjoy well kept walks that led to a small Chapel, a St. Frances Shrine, and the Our Lady "of Guadalupe".
From there, the Ladies enjoyed a quiet and enjoyable lunch in Ballinger at Villa Palma, a superb Italian Restaurant.
A special thanks to Emma for planning this incredible outing, and to Bobbie Jo for driving!
Our next PWOC event will be the Women's Retreat later this month. Be on the look-out for future PWOC events!
