My mother and I are going to try and find them this fall. Funny stony.... my great grandmother who bought them always wanted water front property (just like me). So when it came time, she went to the cemetery and picked these four which over looked a beautiful large pond. Happy with finally getting her waterfront property, she left and never visited again.<br /><br />Except she had visited in the fall... and the "pond" was a cranberry bog.<br /><br />I wonder if she's rolling on her side of the headstones or if she's happy with her seasonal view.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-47874655814356435542015-09-06T14:09:22.994-04:002015-09-06T14:09:22.994-04:00Oh, and a great bug happy CONGRATS on that 4-leaf ...Oh, and a great bug happy CONGRATS on that 4-leaf clover (now THAT is one for the record books).<br />(I have yet to find one, but am ever hopeful)<br /><br />Get that bigger laminated and stuck in your wallet (or framed).<br /><br />:)Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-21767516858109085302015-09-06T14:07:35.403-04:002015-09-06T14:07:35.403-04:00Chris:
