fiinally made it to Christian Union Cemtery to find my great grandpa Lewis Brown's grave....

it's just a hop and a skip down the road from Kyla's grandparents, and took Katie there tonite for her ride to church camp tomorrow. It is a peaceful little country cemetery, right off the highway, surrounded on 2 sides by fields. A groundhog ran across the churchyard into a hole it had dug out under back of church. I stood on the busted up cement stoop and thought about the ancestors who attended church there. The old church looks to be in good shape, has the two traditional entry doors, one for men, one for women, I guess. There is a new church built in Blue Ridge, Katie attends there when she is at Kyla's house.
