We were talking about remembering coming up here with our parents a million years ago. Here is my cousin with her grandson, I am sure in 40 years he will be here with his Gkids telling the same story, I remember coming up here with my DGM and her crazy cousins.

I was mowing along the rock wall when someone on the other side of the wall yelled at me, I like to have jumped out of my skin, course everyone else cracked up. Guess if you are gonna die from a heart attack it might as well be at the cemetery! There stood 4 people I didn't know. There were two elderly women with a man and woman, the woman were Aunts had told their nephew about the cemetery and they found the cemetery on the internet and decided to come up, if they physically located it. These are mostly deserted cemeteries located on private farms, in the middle of no where.....rofl, these are true old family cemeteries started in the 1800's. Since I do genealogy I knew we had to be realitives in some fashion, I didn't have my genealogy stuff with me, but we did find the headstones and piece how we were related. They took lots of pictures of headstones and I got one of the Aunt's email address and I am going to send her some stuff. That was fun, but sadly they didn't offer to help....rofl.

This is my cousin and her DGS, my cousin is having major surgery. They found a mass behind her stomach and pancreas. She is being operated on by a transplant team today, surgery will run 4 to 8 hours depending on how the mass is attached, they can't tell until they get inside. Course they don't know about the mass either. She was happy to have her mind and body busy yesterday. We are very close, her birthday is a week after mine, her sister is suppose to call me every hour and tell me something. She is in great health except for that one minor detail so we are expecting her to come thru like a champ.
