I got tagged by Collecting My Thoughts to list 5 of my weird habits and I left out one of my weirdest!
I thought I’d add it cause it’s really weird.
I have a thing about cemeteries.
It started when I started getting interested in genealogy. I would go to cemeteries to find tombstones. Then I started taking pictures of tombstones.

Thanks to digital cameras, I have probably, thousands of tombstone pictures and actually spend time uploading them to genealogy websites. I don’t know or have any connection with 99% of the tombstone pictures I have.
Sometimes during lunch or just when I want to be alone, I will drive to a cemetery and just walk around it.
My husband calls me Thanoptais (The Goddess of Death). When I wonder out loud why I go to cemeteries to chill out, he says, ‘Well, there’s not a lot of action going on in a cemetery and no one is going to bother you there.’
Maybe that’s it.




I don’t take photos, but I do find some cemeteries really lovely. We did a tour of one in Buffalo where there is a new Frank Lloyd Wright mausoleum. Also our family angel was stolen from the Elwood cemetery in Elwood Indiana–if you ever come across it. I blogged about that.
You’re just a little strange.
I read another blog post on tombstones a day or so ago - and I have no idea where! It’s was interesting, though, and if I ever re-discover it, I’ll send you the link.
Don’t you love how Amanda gets right to the point?!
I raised her - I can’t complain. I suppose it was my doing LOL
She doesn’t mince words
