Dennis had arranged for Grandma Anne's name to be carved on a big stone near the ash garden where we buried her ashes (in the background). It's hard to read the name but it's all there
Anne Sedgewick Hartley 1-10-1934 - 1-16-2019
Over time it will be easier to read. Dennis had not been to the cemetery in Langley since the name had been carved. He wanted to go so. Why not today, I said? We can even take the dogs (we have seeing-eye dog standard poodle Cash staying with us). Actually I said it last night, he agreed. This involves a ferry to Whidbey Island
You can see placing a stone on the obelisk with her name. Apparently it is a Jewish thing but I was always taught that when you go visit a grave, you leave a stone on it to show that you have been there. That you have remembered. So I'm putting a stone on it. I could have cropped Teddy out of the picture but I didn't.
The dogs had SO much fun in the cemetery, they ran and ran. Then we bought a pizza (because you do in Langley) and at it outside in a park. Then to Coupeville about 25 miles away. Dennis wanted to see the church where his great grandfather served as minister. We found the church but nobody was there.
