Today's work-ticket
Today's work-ticket is to go to the west side of the state and to clean-up the grave-sites of my paternal grandfather (who died in 1936) and my paternal grandmother (1996). Then we will visit a second, more rural cemetery where many other ancestors on that side of the family are buried.
We will eat lunch at a tavern that was started in 1933 and I will eat too much.
The venture (the trip, not just the visit at the tavern) will be an all-day affair.
