This afternoon, I went for a walk around Columbia Gardens Cemetery. For years, it was a part of our life. I went for a walk there 4 or 5 times a week and Carlton rode his bike there every day – weather permitting.
Carlton was great friends with the gravediggers and when I told them he had died they were extremely interested in who had the body and what was going to happen to it. They offered to find a nice place – off the books – to stash his ashes. But, he was slated for Kailua Bay.
Carlton and I both liked Senator Byrd – I especially like the fact that the Distinguished Gentleman from the not so great state of West Virginia didn’t want to be buried in WVA. Heck, I didn’t want to be born there. But, no one asked for my opinion.
Someone always sees to it that Virgil always has a Miller High Lite handy.
Carlton and I both loved this cemetery. In the US at least, cemeteries were the first city “parks”. And Columbia Gardens continues this tradition.
Note to Carlton: Checked out the old building. The Daves are still there. And, there is still the hole in the facade under our bedroom window where the starlings nest. And, the rent would still be more than I am paying here. Not to mention utilities and food. And maid service.
Loved the pics today , thanks for sharing,
