Jan Outting- Cemeteries
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!
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!!
anyway.. It's a real old cemetery, from the war! Here you can read all about it!!
here's the entrance!
And here's what the sign says-
oooh and Look Aunties here at the base of the flag- that's pieces from the old Church that fell down...
Here Aunties, this way, let's Go!
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!
And look at this Aunties, me and mommy never saw one with bars around the sides like this- neat huh?!
So whatcha think these 'B' thingys mean Aunties? We saw lots of these with different letters...
Oooh an look at this, very pretty!
Ooh an look at these!
Wait what's that?? Over there by itself!
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!!
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???
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?
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...
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....
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!
Still I Did have fun and I hope you enjoyed my cemetery tour as much as I did Aunties!
I'm off to sleep Now while it's day light... I think it's gonna be a looong night with those ghosties tonight... Missy
