Saturday October 18th, Amanda and I had another fun day. I'll get to that tomorrow but today I'm going to talk about the cemetery. We were approaching it and Amanda was talking about her friends dad who was buried there and that she thought they had finally gotten the head stone in. I asked if she wanted to stop so we did.
As we went up the hill I saw some other visitors.
As long as we were right there we also visited my dads grave as well as a few of my other relatives. First my dad
This one is my grandparents on my father's side
This is my dad's sister and my favorite aunt.
And finally my dad's youngest brother and his wife.

You have a lot of family there. And it looks like the sheep are watching over them.
I echo Ginny's comment, Ann. Beautiful ❤️ photos.
Its been awhile since I visited the cemeteries here, there are 4 cemeteries with mothers side of the family graves in them. In the past, I would walk and look. my parents and Daddys side of the family are in Georgia, a lot in Savannah and the rest in small rural churches cemeteries.
Oh, a lot of your family buried there. I hope it wasn't too sad of a visit. Hugs.
The sheep will keep the grass well-trimmed. Graveyards are peaceful places.
My mom's parents bought a 12-grave plot in Corsicana Texas. It's 50 miles from us so we don't get there often to visit my parents. Just yesterday Larry and I were heading to lunch when we passed a headstone place. I told Larry we needed to purchase ours's! We have gravesites but no stones. It's time.
Glad you girls had a little get together!

The sheep are quite good at lawn care. When I was still working we had land near my office building that NCSU had plans to build on. It was very low and valley like. It was full of Kudzu. NCSU was first an agricultural collage. The NCSU vet school had a flock of sheep. They were delivered to the vacant lot that was fenced. They graze for about 2 weeks ate the Kudzu roots and all.
Cemeteries are full of so much history. This was an nice post.

That's an interesting surname. What are its origins?
A wonderful day indeed.
Have a fabulous day and week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
I find cemeteries so fascinating. I love the history of them.
I'm glad you were able to visit and see your family plots.
Very touching.

I'm glad they are close enough to visit, and that it's such a peaceful place.
Very interesting - nice to be able to go around and see things.
Lot of your family buried there.
The sheep will keep the grass nice and short. :)
I wonder if they use the sheep for the lawn care?
We have a lot of relatives in a small cemetery in a small town in Minnesota where my parents grew up. Haven't been there for many years. Nice to have them all there together, though. :)
That is the first time I've seen sheep in a cemetery. How awesome.
It was nice that you went and visited with them. All of my family is in Chicago and Mark's too.
Lots of family there. Cool that you and Amanda got to give them a visit.
So nice to be able to visit your family. What a lovely natural way to get the sheep to trim the grass. It all looks very well taken care of.
It's been forever since I've been to the cemetery. I should probably go before the weather gets bad.
