I can still see here chopping with it on the walnut table that I have today. Lots of cuts in the top of it and I would never remove them. That would be frustrating to have a stone that keeps getting grown over. L.

In any case, I like to ramble around old cemeteries but this would be far more interesting if anyone buried there was related to me.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-583641900350853892016-05-28T12:04:38.869-05:002016-05-28T12:04:38.869-05:00Thanks for cleaning the cemetery stones.

When my mom flies up to Minnesota in June my sister will take Mom to see her sister's grave while she's up here. I'm sure they don't take care of that cemetery as well as you and Far Guy would. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-26872173224273028092016-05-28T07:19:33.012-05:002016-05-28T07:19:33.012-05:00Thanks for all that you and Far Guy do.
