Winter Picnic at a Cemetery

Most of this blog was written last winter but never finished. I hope the “wintry” thoughts and pictures will cool your very warm June weekend.

The most un-spontaneous woman I know (me) proposed a spur of the moment activity to her husband this past January.

A friend called us one Tuesday morning with an interesting project. She has recently retired and decided to begin her application to the D.A.R. She had lived in the Elko area for several years but moved away about 12 years ago. She was looking for snapshots showing her great-grandfather’s tombstone standing in the Tuscarora Cemetery. Her snapshots have disappeared and she was wondering if
Dean and I would like to make a little outing to Tuscarora some time.

The sun was shining that Tuesday and we had nothing specifically scheduled for several hours—don’t snicker, retired folks to have busy schedules at times. So, I said, “Dean, let’s go to Tuscarora, try to find the right tombstone and take a picture. Then have a picnic in the snow.”

Here is what we found:

 Hope the snowy scenes help soothe

the heat. (We ate our "picnic" in the

truck, not on the snow)
