He's Alive!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm Still Here!

Sorry it's taking forever for us to get the rest of the cemetery photos up!

We've been trying to get back to Fairview and finish up the cataloging... but we're still buried in snow here!

Since we only have the one car, I must wait until Texichick is off from work in order to get to the cemetery. Unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated! First we had rain, and then came the snow!

I promised to get back and finish the cemetery as soon as possible!

Until then... keep working on your family tree and let me know if I can be of assistance!

Back After The New Year!

We are taking a holiday and will return after the New Year!

Fairview Christian Church Cemetery

Fairview Christian Church Cemetery is located between Gap Mills and Union, in Monroe County.  Off of Route 3 approximately 0.75 miles, on Central Church Road, this cemetery is located on the left hand side of the road, and sits almost on the road in places.

We only got about half of this cemetery cataloged yesterday, as a funeral was to begin shortly. We will go back very soon and get the remainder of the sites.

We were able to catalog the upper most area entirely [at the road] and over half of the central area. We will get back shortly to finish the cataloging.

To set these in a more manageable manner, I will be posting 4 or so graves a day.

Roasting...

Oh, you know that kind of heat. The kind that causes you to sweat, and no amount of Degree  or Secret deodorant will help!

You know the kind...

...the kind that causes the air to lay still, and it feels like it's sucking the life right out of you. Like just before a hurricane... when the only thing that will cool everything off is for Mother Nature to let loose her anger, and wet the air and the earth with those tears of anger and frustration she has...

like...

... like... 

Bogey and Bacall in Key Largo!

Well, yeah, that's how hot it is here!!!

And while I can't escape to Key Largo, I have been going to Lake Sherwood as often as I can just to cool off in the clear waters of that mountain lake.

Until the weather cools, this blog will not have any entries to place in it with photos of wnderful Monroe and Greenbrier County cemeteries.

But they ARE coming!

Texichick and I will be heading out with our tombstone hunting gear as soon as the weather cools to a tolerable level.

Until then, stay cool, and enjoy a lovely iced drink on me!
