Light posting for the next week–Historiann is off to her ancestral homeland for a family funeral. (Not tragic: Grampa was 97, and was very ready to go.) In the meantime, keep your families all happy and healthy, and I’ll see you soon.
If you’re of a morbid turn of mind these days, here’s some quality late eighteenth-century gravestone blogging and photography from the St. James Reformed Cemetery in Lovettsville, Virginia, courtesy of By Neddie Jingo!

It sounds like your grandfather had a long and, one hopes, full life. Still, condolences.

My condolences, Historiann. I take it you are in Ohio? Things should be pretty interesting over there…..

Historiann is from Ohio? Where? I’m from Ohio (sort of). And I don’t think I knew her there. But I’m also Canadian. So I know for sure she’s not from Canada. Because we all know each other up north.

Historiann, my condolences to you and your family.
I hope you have a few good memories of time spent with your Grampa.

Even if he was ready to go, it’s still sad for you and your family. My sympathies to you.
