Memorial Day
Day 2 was spent in Massachusetts. There is an old cemetery by my mother-in-law's house that dates back to 1665. I like to visit it and read the names on the old grave markers. Take, for example, Lt. Daniel Kimball, died in 1800 at 53 years old. Probably a Revolutionary War soldier. And his relative (?) Lt. Benjamin Kimball, died in 1830. Most like a war of 1812 veteran. It's good to remember the old soldiers on this day, too.

JoAnn and I used to walk over to that cemetery on any given chilly Thanksgiving Day.......It beat doing the dishes~ We'd take some of the old schoolroom math paper and pencils and rub over the stones to capture some of the tributes.......good & bad~
Your are Nice. And so is your site! Maybe you need some more pictures. Will return in the near future.
