El Carmelo Cemetery

El Carmelo Cemetery was near where we were staying.  Richard shakes his head, but knows that I like to take a look at old cemeteries . . . so yes,  he thinks I'm weird, but he goes along with it.  I am not sure why I find them fascinating . . . but always have.  

Trick or Treat . . . Flashback Friday

 Trick or Treat!

 . . . and why are we in a cemetery at night Amy?  :)

It's October - wishing I was back in Iowa . . .

Happy Friday!

Fun Weekend!

We went for a drive in the country this weekend . . . always fun!  We ate Mexican Food, picked up some rocks, had a cold drink at the Minkler Cash Store, and visited the Centerville cemetery where Richard's grandparent's are buried.

I like this cemetery.  It is small and out in the country - very peaceful, quiet, and kept up so nice. 

We spotted this sign on our way to the cemetery.   Whenever we drive out here - I always think that this may be where I would like to be buried . . . I couldn't help but think that once you are in this cemetery . . . that you are "somewhere over the rainbow." 

Stopped in Minkler . . .

 . . . and at the Minkler Cash Store.  Love this old store . . . Some of the stuff on these shelves probably hasn't been moved in years.  It is fun to just to browse around and take everything in.  Richard was going to get a hat - and there were some great socks I wanted . . . but we were not prepared for the cash only.  But hey - we have a reason to go back.

We trespassed . . .

 . . . or rather Richard did.  I wanted some rocks for by my garden.  We were going to venture down further and walk across a little bridge - very large, barking dogs kept us from doing that. 

Fun Day!

We also spent some time outside by the pool - working in the yard.  One of our young doves made its way out of the nest.  This is what hangs right below his nest . . . and this is all the further he got. 

Here's to a great weekend . . . and another one only five days away!
