Great, great, great!<br /><br />Now, I'm going to answer my own question. Would I walk through a cemetery at night? <br /><br />Answer: NO NO NO NO NO Not on your life. Not if someone offered me $100. Not with a friend and not alone. Uh uh. No way. No siree. Not no how.

I liked the way you ended this interesting post! No, I probably would not walk through a cemetery at night if it was dark. Since doing our family genealogy, I have come to really love visiting cemeteries and reading the headstones. And sadly, one does see many tiny headstones of babies and small children.GratefulPrayerThankfulHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912258806814037028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-36835437456374429492010-05-22T13:41:03.312-07:002010-05-22T13:41:03.312-07:00They fascinate me, but I don't go very often. ...They fascinate me, but I don't go very often.

And we have been searching for the grave of my dad's baby sister in the cemetery in his home town. We think we have found it, where just a portion of a small headstone protrudes from under the roots of an oak tree. And yes I have and will walk in a cemetery at night... I'll have to tell you about a scare I had one night in one sometime...Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778062706708568457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-12516237571371922892010-05-22T12:35:33.150-07:002010-05-22T12:35:33.150-07:00Susan, I so relate to this.
