I had a very nice afternoon with my 12 year old grand-twins yesterday. I took them to the cemetery where my grandmother and family were buried. We found the headstone for the namesake of their mother, then began to search for traditional cemetery art, and searched for the oldest headstone, 1798. We had fun connecting dates with historical events, like the civil war, the 1918 pandemic, War of 1812, WWI and WWII and calculating the age of the individuals being commemorated. Good time for all and did not cost anything but our time.
