  1. Herstoryan,
    I will be so glad when google/blogger get their issues resolved so I can again see the posted pictures. ---- Really irritating that I miss so much. Nevertheless, I keep on reading.

  2. I always like to see the flat stones well taken care of. I several cemeteries around here, the stones are often overgrown with grass and soil. This is a very pretty stone.
