Okay, so I love to walk through every cemetary I come to, especially old ones. Roy & I found this wonderful old cemetary named Sunset Cemetery, just across the street from where we are spending the night. It has headstones dating back to the early 1800's. There were newer headstones as well. What a beautiful, well kept and often visited cemetary. You can tell by all the flowers. I especially love reading about the family history on the tumbstones. Some of the newer headstones told a bit of the family history through pictures carved into the headstone. Interestingly, the back side of the headstones showed pictures of places where those laid to rest would want to gaze upon. Yes, I know this facination with cemetaries is probably a character flaw but shortly before her death, my Mom told me my Dad loved cemeteries too. Perhaps it is genetic.....
