Two weeks ago grandma and grampa took us to the Buffalo zoo.
He slept virtually the entire time.
Except when he's hungry.
They're finally cleaning up Beth Jacob Cemetery in the east side. The last several weeks I've been volunteering to help restore the cemetery (as best we can). It's good to get outside of the house and use my muscles a little. This sunday we're meeting their again, and we might just get to expose a few overturned monuments!
Of all the monuments, this one gets to me the most, especially since I now have a child of my own. The last time I saw it this winter, it was barely visible under the substantial brush and thorns. The area's been cleared enough that the Jewish custom of placing a rock on it can be observed again.
I never thought I'd see the day where there'd be real living people in the cemetery.
A slightly better shot of overturned monuments.

We're going to Boston to see my family's really old graveyard and I'm really grateful that it has been preserved for (dorky) ancestors like me to go look at and wonder about the people in it.
