what a beautiful weekend, even though we got a little rain. holly, matty and gordy got to play outside and i put out my metal flowerboxes. today we took a nature walk. jay said i was walking to fast but i like the pace i was at and i kept going. on our way back to the car we stopped and looked through an old cementary here in wayne. the oldest person we found was born in the 1700's. most everyone buried in this cementary were born and died in the 1800's. a lot of children are buried here. what is weird about these old grave markers is that they had their age and how many months and a day they were when they died. one of the last gravestones we looked at was for a guy named william houston. it read that he was with co. D 24 Mich and died in gettysburg. so i told jay lets remember his information and see if we can google him and maybe we can find a picture of him. well, i googled him and found a drawing of him. in fact the city of wayne paid to have a mural painted on the side our our old movie theather a few years back and his face is on it. how weird out of all those graves, we pick his and find out that he is part of this mural. next saturday we are making plans to go to the wayne histroical muesum to see if we can find anything else about his young man. he was only 21 years old when he died.
