Oooh Aunties what a day I've had! Mommy says every month we're gonna have a family day an do an outting! So today was gorgeous just like spring so mommy changed our holiday to Today!! We got up early and went to my favorite outdoor cafe for breakfast, so I could have Lots of energy for our outting!! No pics cuz well we were too busy eating!!

Then we were off to our Church cemetery, we like going there, it's real pretty and peaceful!

Mommy didn't take a lot of pics here but you can see the old Chapel in the background of these! I'm sure we'll go there again and I can show you more, we just stopped here quick today!

image.png

The Real treat was this other cemetery that momma's been dying to go to... Get it Aunties..dying to go to... I just crack myself up!!:hysterical:

anyway.. It's a real old cemetery, from the war! Here you can read all about it!!

image.png

here's the entrance!

image.png

And here's what the sign says-

image.png

oooh and Look Aunties here at the base of the flag- that's pieces from the old Church that fell down...

image.png

Here Aunties, this way, let's Go!

image.png

Heres some really neat old headstones! Daddy says this ones from a guy in a way old war and you can see what unit he was in! Daddy knows all that stuff, he's smart like that!

image.png

And look at this Aunties, me and mommy never saw one with bars around the sides like this- neat huh?!

image.png

So whatcha think these 'B' thingys mean Aunties? We saw lots of these with different letters...

image.png

Oooh an look at this, very pretty!

image.png

Ooh an look at these!

image.png

Wait what's that?? Over there by itself!

image.png

Oooh it's Lord Fairfax! WOW he's a Really important guy around these parts, he's a hero from a really old war, they even named a city after him! I didn't know he was here, this is special! Daddy says he's buried way away from his city cuz he can't afford the taxes to be there!! :hysterical:

image.png

Look Aunties, here's bigger pieces from the Church that fell down, they said these were 'Angel' stones. I dunno what that means cuz I don't see no Angel, do you???

image.png

Ok Auntiies this is where it gets Real interesting... See that house over there? Yeah the orange one.. We didn't wanna get too close... So the story goes- after the original Church fell down they built again and this house is it...

Oh let me back up... So ya know that old Church that was here? Ya know the pieces in the pic above, the one that fell down.. They say it was taken over during the war an made into a hospital to treat the soldiers, right? Soooo they Say that when they had to amputate they threw the body parts All into a grave... Somewhere around here.... Me an mommy figure it's Gotta be somewhere by this house, Right?? We looked an looked but we didn't find it, all the ones we found had names... But Maybe they put a name on it to trick us, huh?

image.png

LOOK Aaunties this headstone is Cracked... Do ya think that's where them body parts are??? I ain't never seen a cracked headstone before...

image.png

And Look, What's This??? Mommy says this is where they put little doggies who walk on graves... Gulp! She says I was a wild child today cuz I hadn't had a walk in so long cuz of the cold and snow an an I Forgot my Cemetery manners.... :( 

image.png

Mommy says the ghosts are gonna come after me tonight and I'm on My Own, she ain't gonna protect me cuz I was all over the place in the cemetery.... Ooooh I'm soooo outta here Aunties!  :death:

image.png

Still I Did have fun and I hope you enjoyed my cemetery tour as much as I did Aunties!

image.png

I'm off to sleep Now while it's day light... I think it's gonna be a looong night with those ghosties tonight...:teary: :throb: Missy

Ooooh - I love cemeteries.  So peaceful.

Several years ago we took a trip to South Carolina and went down into Georgia.  We saw some beautiful old cemeteries........everything in California is so new compared to the south East.  

I had just read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and loved touring Savannah.  I hounded my husband until I got to go to the cemetery featured in that novel.  Was it Bonaventure?  Anyway.......just beautiful with huge old trees covered in Moss.  Old old headstones and mausoleums.

Lovely place!  Thank you for showing me around.:clap: it was just like all of us being there.  You will have to imagine me making sure that Cato doesn't widdle on any graves, and Tara doesn't climb any!

Do a search for Bonaventure Cemetery Savannah Images and look at some of the areas of the cemetery.

Very cool outing! Cemeteries can be very peaceful.

Don't worry about the ghosties, it's not the dead people that will hurt you, it's the live ones ;)

(Probably not very reassuring! haha)

Thank you and excellent point Auntie Kate! Ya know there was a live person at the first cemetery, for some reason mommy was uncomfortable so we left.. Probably a good idea, huh? If nothing else it really makes it not so peaceful anyway with live people there!!! ;)
