Everywhere else in the cemetary features the normal headstone.<br /><br />A lot of the other grave markers are similarly decorated as well. Sort of a joyous rememberance of life you might say.G. B.

It's pretty cool that they allow that.<br /><br />I've just been to my dad's grave once since the funeral in December. It's always emotional to go there - it's a veteran's cemetery and I had a hard time finding his grave at first. They all look alike. So your dad's grave has such personality - I like it.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207035867368862778.post-86263299448487249352010-09-06T06:40:18.107-04:002010-09-06T06:40:18.107-04:00Snaggle: The town cemetary is pretty flexible on w...Snaggle: The town cemetary is pretty flexible on what you can have and what can stay on the headstone during the year. I try to get there at least a few times a year to visit, think and contemplate.G. B.

Your Dad&#...Nice pics of the Holstien cows grazing.<br />Your Dad's got a good spot there for visiting I see, n many trinkets to ponder. <br /><br />Where My parents are, no stuff is allowed to be placed at the site- no flowers or trinkets- a flag on Memorial Day only. I don't go there much.Snaggle Toothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197042129309670471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207035867368862778.post-43036793300198870632010-09-05T16:18:31.728-04:002010-09-05T16:18:31.728-04:00You're more than welcome.

And you're absolutey welcome, as it was my privlege to share a part of me that I don't often feel comfortable in sharing.<br /><br />Bea: The cows....considering how suburban Newington is, it really is amazing that we have two functioning farms in town, let alone the cows.<br /><br />And I truly enjoyed sharing this slice of my life that I have a tendency to keep hidden more often than not.G.

It's nice to know what all the symbols are and why they are on a gravestone. I often treck around old grave yards and wonder what happened to an entire family or what a certain symbol means. <br />Nice looking cows! lol We saw a lot of beautiful brown cows in Iowa. I should learn what kind they are. :)BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825249325749004937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207035867368862778.post-60219018484672468802010-09-05T12:59:01.338-04:002010-09-05T12:59:01.338-04:00Your father's marker is absolutely gorgeous.
