It’s good to know there’s some interest out there for this. I’m just having fun with all of it. Happy blogging.

I lead cemetery tours in my town for third graders (this will be my 6th year), and even though I’ve done a bit of research on symbols, it seems that there’s always one each year that I wasn’t aware of. This will really help. Thanks.
