I find your posts so interesting. I used to love the Cemetery Walks in Sandusky. They usually featured men, but I always hung to the back to count the wives and lost children.
Miss Merry, I am not so active on Graveyard Rabbit these days, but I have never lost my love for learning the stories behind all those stones in the cemetery!
