I suppose I ought to post more butterflies to keep the butterfly folks happy. So the day before we left, I was checking Find A Grave looking for the cemeteries I wanted to visit and to see if people had any photo requests. I stumbled upon a cemetery that listed my great-grandfather and had a picture of the metal funeral home marker (he doesn't have a headstone). Now, someone else had him listed in a different cemetery and we all thought the marker had rusted away by now. Last time my grandfather went up there, there were trees growing through the cemetery. I guess they cleaned it up because it's fine now. You need a four wheel drive to get up there, but Dad has a Ford F-150 so we made it just fine. Oh, and his first cousin lives in the house at the bottom of the hill. Anyway, I was super excited because I never thought I would find his actual grave since we all assumed it was unmarked. After I took photos of the cemetery, you know I chased some butterflies.
