Sous Chef In Training

Nana’s training us in the kitchen. Being the mature adult that I am, it only seemed natural to show him a little trick I picked up on my own.
The good stuff doesn't just fall out of trees…

The Mrs and I recently attend a Basic Cemetery Preservation Workshop sponsored by the Indiana Historical Society.
The bulk of the outdoor class was instructed by The Graveyard Groomer. These guys are like graveyard rock stars.
After some training we got a chance to practice what they’d preached. While probing, I actually found something… it’s… a… Holy Schnikes!
I found a spot where some stones had been laid out and buried. I think the oldest was 1837 and another from the 1850′s. And that, my friend, is some neat stuff.
It appears that sometime in the past there were some markers that someone didn’t know what to do with, and they just dug a hole and buried the lot of them. There’s no telling how long they had been buried. The most recent cemetery listing for that site I could find online was from 2001, but I’m assuming it’s been far longer than 10 years.
As a group, we found two spots where that had happened.
A couple of weeks after the workshop I took some aerial photos of the cemetery. I still need to pull them off the camera, but will get them uploaded.

I got a little bit carried away and started posting everything that popped into my head. I then realized I’d forgotten what I’d set out to do. The real reason for the site is for a front-end to the Ged2Map program (also in the menu at the top).
Believe it not, a rational thought will pop into my head every once and a while.
