A good chunk of my time growing up in southern Indiana was spent reading books; all kinds of books, but especially mysteries and the scariest stories I could find at the time.

Crumbles

My husband and I went to a small, rural cemetery last weekend. We volunteer to take photographs of headstones, for genealogy purposes, for those who are researching their family. For many who do so, a photograph of a burial marker can be an important factor for documenting relationships, birth dates, and death dates.
