Not often have I been to my mother's parents grave..I was names after mom's mom as she passed away only months before I was born...very young, 34 yrs. of age..brain tumor..I was named after her 'Bessie Mary'

So after travelling through roads such as I have shown you I go in search (pouring rain) of the tombstone..find it only through luck..it was so covered with moss..here I had a crochet pot scrubber in the car, had forgotten to take it in the house, so I get it, walk down to that muddy road and back and start scrubbing/scrubbing the moss off the tombstone..each time water over my shoes, feet frozen..yuk...

Didn't get it all cleaned off but at lease you can see whose tombstone it belongs to..going to go back next time I'm in Midland with a metal brush and clean it off properly..
