I found the tombstones interesting and wonder what people are thinking sometimes when writing their epitaph (or writing one for their family member!) If it seems too cool where you are, you are welcome to send that weather south! Love the little men in your life.

First of all, the dull Novembery day you depicted here looks exactly like my kind of day...blustery, grayish skies, leaves swirling...yep, my kind of day alright. Tomorrow it is to be 80 degrees again and I would swap days with you in a heartbeat. Like you, I also enjoy a good stroll through an old graveyard. Oh...if only these old tombstones could talk, what stories they could tell! I hate to see these old cemeteries vandalized...it breaks my heart. You certainly have two cute little trick-or-treaters alright....I didn't have a one :(Debby Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499542865677173703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-66516955265263630082016-11-02T16:27:37.635-04:002016-11-02T16:27:37.635-04:00Your grands are the cutest!

Tomorrow will be warm, too, but then the cool weather returns. I love visiting old cemeteries. And I remember a story about a grave with an epitaph rather like Mr. Crumett's. Someone had scratched below it, "to follow you, I'm not content.......Until I know which way you went".<br />Poor Mr. Mustachio! He may change his mind someday! I have been surprised by the facial hair, mustaches and beards, on some of the ball players in the world series.

My dad was a gruff old rasca and I miss him and would love to be able to talk to him again, but I know he is happier where he is now. One thing I know, if I went to visit him dressed as a Trump supporter, he would have run me off. Or tried to! He was a diehard Dem. lol! <br />Your grandsons are the cutest, love the mustache story.

I don't know how to dress these days! My husband is thinking about getting one of those leaf blowers; sounds like an easier way to deal with leaves. Most of which, by the way, are still on the trees here. I think old cemeteries are fascinating. I always think how sad to see how many children died young back in the day. And the little poems and sayings are so interesting. Blessings to you Vee.

There was one right next to my house where I grew up and my aunt was kind of the unofficial caretaker of it...so I spent a lot of time up there with her. Amazing what you can find out in an old cemetery. <br /><br />Love your little tricksters..they are so cute.<br /><br />Hope you have a great night. It was in the 60s here today.

It isn't in the two I walk around but in a smaller one along the Farm Loop.<br />Glad you got a leaf blower that you could handle.

When my precious motherinlove was alive for many years after our Thanksgiving dinner that was our outing. She always wanted to go to the cemetery. She would also try to bribe us with "After all that dinner y'all need to walk it off". And of course we went. It is so interesting to walk among the tombstones and talk about those we knew and some that we thought we knew and those that we wondered about. Matter of fact I feel a cemetery visit coming on soon. Love the pictures of the grands. Hope your dad is doing well.

I don't look for old relatives, but I enjoy looking at the old stones and statues. It was a cold one here for Oct. 31, high of 51 and cold blowing and rainy. The Fall trifecta of nasty weather. On the other hand, Nov. 1 has blown in with temps of 73, sunshine and autumnal perfection. Go figure. Your visitors look very distinguished.

I grew up around old cemeteries and my parents were always hearing of more of them to show us.
