My hobby is exploring cemeteries and graveyards.

If you’re not in the know, cemeteries are big theme parks for the dead and graveyards are smaller and attached to churches.

I live in Washington state and our graveyards and cemeteries are relatively ‘young’ so the ‘artwork’ is  around the same age and even though they are great places to visit you don’t see a lot of variety as it were.

That’s why when I got to Wisconsin to visit my son and his family we go cemetery exploring together because then I can see headstones and statues that I only see pictures of in books.

Now I am having even more fun because my Granddaughter Jemma is old enough to go along:

When Jemma first went with me she thought monsters were sleeping in the graves so she was somewhat cautious-

But she is not like that anymore because Wednesday Addams came along, but the truth is she’s my Granddaughter so eventually she was going to start feeling the vibe:

I’ll be hitting the grounds in a few weeks when I go to Wisconsin to visit my Granddaughters ( the newest addition to our family was born in September so she will probably sit out Cemetery day this year ) and I am hoping to get some great pictures and stories to share.

Cemeteries are literally packed with stories and I can’t wait to learn a few more new ones.
