I had not heard about Jake’s Ice Cream. I also have never heard about Westview Cemetery – I have been to Oakland Cemetery and wrote a post on it and now will try to visit Westview in the fall. About the Alliance Française – I’d like to visit it sometimes but it is in Atlanta I believe. We live closer to Paulding County than Marietta so it is a long drive to Atlanta, at least one hour so I don’t enjoy driving that far.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215012239224279787.post-82583138090070185952012-06-25T23:23:24.828-04:002012-06-25T23:23:24.828-04:00What an interesting post!

I think you might remember I am a volunteer for the historical society of a National Landmarked historical cemetry in Brooklyn, NY, where over half a million permanent residents, named Green-Wood Cemetery. Like Westview, it is full of beautiful statuary and interesting gaves of famous and infamous people. We are always finding new stories about them!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215012239224279787.post-53627645861011649172012-06-25T00:45:50.357-04:002012-06-25T00:45:50.357-04:00Thanks for taking us along.

I have often wondered what her parents were thinking when they decided on this name. Sadly, she must have been the but of jokes when she was growing up.

First time visit, now a new follower, love your header! Your post today is really wonderful. A vist to this cemetery would be enjoyed by me . . . some day hopefully. <br /><br />So much history and design can be found in a cemetery along with thoughts of life and love. <br /><br />On a lighter note, my husband had a classmate whose name was Seymour, last name Butts, middle name Red.

It was so interesting and good exercise. I was recently in washington DC with my husband and in-laws and we went to my mother in law's grave. Right above it were tombstones with my maiden name on them. It was a crazy feeling. This one you are talking about reminds me of the ones in New Orleans, I think, the above the ground ones...we lived in Ruston, LA for a short time and visited down there.

I think the graves of children are so sad - there's one in our Ross Bay cemetery that is marked by a tiny child's chair and a pair of wee cement shoes.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
