Eakly Cemetery

It seems a bit odd to post about going to the Eakly Cemetery as if it is a novel adventure.  I am fairly certain that Eakly Cemetery was the first cemetery I was ever in and DEFINITELY the one I have spent the most time in!  On October 18th Rick and I headed for the metropolis of Eakly, trying to beat the twilight.  It was time to 'freshen up' Mummy's headstone for her birthday!

I know.  It doesn't look terribly exciting.  I didn't get any new flowers; I just used some stuff that I keep stashed in the trunk for spur-of-the-moment Eakly trips.  Rest assured, she is perfectly happy with the scarecrows!  The other peeps that visit the Eakly Cemetery must think we are a 'special' family because her headstone is decorated for fall year-round!  Anyone who knew Mummy understands, though.  :-)
I got a few pics of family graves and a couple of other interesting ones, but it was late in the day.  One of these days I plan to go out there and spend several hours taking pictures.  There are a lot of graves on the FindAGrave site that don't have pictures with them from the Eakly Cemetery.
I also meant to hit up the Historical Marker on the highway on the way back home, but zoomed right past it without even thinking!  Maybe next time!

When I was younger I always found it quite amusing that there was a water tower IN the cemetery!  :-)
