I was visiting friends in the country this morning when an opportunity arose that I could not pass up 😊
I had seen this cute little
ATV the other day when I was driving that way … and thought to myself: ‘it
would be fun to ride in that thing’.
Today, I got to do just that
😊
The cute little vehicle
belongs to my new friend, Gayle – and she even drove me to the Oak Point Cemetery
in it 😉
Cemeteries don’t
freak me out; I actually
find them interesting places to visit: they are quiet places/they are
filled with artistic expression (poetic, as well as stonework)/love
is expressed there – love overrides the sadness/History is recorded
there (County, as well as Familial histories)/families are bound together
for all eternity there.

Cemeteries interest
me.
Most of Gayle’s Family takes
up the cemetery acreage – I had a good local historian to walk me through the
place 😉
We spent an hour walking through the place. There were markers there from the
Civil War era … and newer ones, too; each marker had a story to tell.

As I was leaving Oak Point
Road, a ship cruised past Ocean Beach Highway on it’s was to the Port of
Longview Docking Bay; but there were several ships anchored off Willow Grove
beachfront, so this ship may anchor there too, overnight.
It was a good day today.
I always like
spending time in the country.
And I always enjoy time spent with friends - especially weirdo's like me 😊
That is a fun thing to do! And it sounds like a life mission - enjoy the ride to the cemetery! #FriendshipFriday
