Cemeteries

Tried before Memorial Day to get some

"clean up" done at the cemeteries... Mid-May,

Hubby and I, did the drive by...

Cemetery #1 my paternal side

Isn't too much to be done ~ touch up the

mowing when we stop (it doesn't always look so good), 
we will clip the long grass

 around the headstone, some weeding and then

some finishing touches.

All faded "fake" items will be removed ~ I am

not a fan of fake decorations and definitely not a fan

of fake that has been left and forgotten so is now

all faded and no longer fake beautiful.

Drive continued to Cemetery #2 my maternal side

This will be more of a challenge - the markers need

to have the grass on the edges removed (as it is 

starting to grow over the markers)... and a list is

being made.  

---------------------

Last night ~ Mom and I headed to cemetery #1.

The grass had been mowed recently ~ we got
busy weeding and doing some edging.

We touched up the  mowing and then also
did the Luce area next door (it doesn't 
appear that anybody visits).

We then checked out the cemetery
recordkeeping (last updated Sept. 2013) 
and took a stroll around the grounds.

We found a time capsule that is buried
with a very nice marker - I will never
see it be opened.  It is dated to be
opened when I am 124 years old.
