It's GraveYard Cleaning time and the word is being past that the first Saturday all our family and yours will be meeting at the GraveYard to clean the cemetery and take care of the graves of our loved ones.

It just might be to see that the "special" rock that marks the babies grave is still in place - or trim the little tree that mark's Grandpap's resting place or plant a "start" from a special flower that Mama loved.

It might be time to set the stone we have patiently waited to set for baby sister. We all will work - and drag brush - fill in the graves - make a little special cross - or fix a little fence. Then we'll spread our dinner and talk about our loved one's and remember when - - -
