On Assignment::

Just reading that title makes me feel kind of important.
Just a bit.

Like I have something new and exciting and grand and important going on in my life.
Is that what you thought, too?

Like a big photography assignment?

Yeah, well not really. 
Okay, not really at all.

The truth: my husband is on this committee
(historic architectural buildings and sites commission? something like that) 
and he does the newsletter for the committee and he needed some photos for the newsletter.

So he gave me an assignment.

There are about seven places to photograph; houses, churches,
a few old buildings and a cemetery.

So I started this morning with a drive through the cemetery.

Greenwood Cemetery
has been around since around the early 1840's. It's one of the oldest cemeteries
in the area and many believe it is haunted. 

I don't know about haunted but it is a very cool old cemetery. 

And you know,  I do kind of have a thing for cemeteries.
The history, the mausoleums, the statues, the names on the headstones,
all of it is so interesting to me.
Weird? Maybe a little.

You can read more of the history of this cemetery here.
It is pretty intriguing to me and whether you believe in it or not
it is still a big part of the history of the cemetery as well as this area in general.

This morning after dropping Wyatt off at school we picked up coffee and headed to the cemetery.
Charlotte is sick with the stomach flu for the first time ever.
Not fun.
My poor baby has had a rough last two days.
I knew today would be spent in the house-specifically on the couch,
watching movies and coloring so
this kept us out of the house for just a little bit  longer this morning.
And since I am not working out of the home it feels kind of good sometimes
  to feel likeI am doing a job. If that makes any sense.
Something to contribute to something, even if it is just a little newsletter.

*****
Okay, back to the couch and my coffee and the coloring books
 and Lady & The Tramp.
Happy Wednesday to you!
