If you are thinking that bites, it does.
It is real pretty though. All the markers in the cemetary are flat like this. I like it much better than those big above ground stones. It doesn't have that scary feeling that people often associate with cemetaries. In fact, the night we were there to watch the shooting stars, it was peaceful and beautiful.
Here is a picture of the sample grave marker:
There will be small image under dad's name with a "gone fishin" sign, a tackle box and a fishing rod and reel. Mom's side will have a hummingbird on it. Their wedding date will be above the last name and below the flower vase.
The marker is due to arrive sometime in October.
The first day we go out and it is there, it will probably be the absolute hardest day of all for mom. I hope another one of my sisters can be here when we go the first time.
This is a picture of the cemetary from many years ago. The trees are big and mature now, and it is really very beautiful there. There is a small circle in the center of the back section. There are now 3 tall evergreens right behind that circle and dad is just behind them. The trees are all full grown now and that circle has 3 large crosses in it. There was a fountain there when they bought the graves, but the owner felt it was dangerous with kids coming in there and took it out.
Well, guess that is enough for now. I really do need to concentrate on school work.
