Somewhere in Texas on highway 69 we passed a sign pointing to a cemetery that said "Money Cemetery". You see, in Texas there are thousands of small cemeteries everywhere. ALOT of small family plots, a specific church or even military affiliation cemeteries. The Cemeteries are still there, some cared for some not, even when there isn't a town there anymore. Very cool and tons of history.
Anyway....
The sign says Money Cemetery. My first vision was of a bunch of little jars of money who's owners had left this earth and needed a place to remain buried.
Lends a new meaning to grave robbing doesn't it? Sorry couldn't resist that.
Here is a list of headstone names we think were in the "money cemetery"
It all began with Old Money. There is Daddy's & Mamma's, their children Alittlebita, Awholelotta, and New. Of course there is Dirty and Laundered Money, we assume Mamma was responsible for both of them.
Every family needs a conservative side, including the Money family. There was Saving, Investing, Moldy, Good, Scared (they say he never won anything). We could never find a marker for Lost, More or Owed. Big and Squandered, and their children Borrowed and No. Over in the far seedy corner lies Free, Drug, Bad and Easy....sad sad sad
Ok so I guess you could say we are ultra bored but it did occupy us for a couple hours anyway. The whole thing seems a bit Counterfeit to me ;)
I will blog when I can. If it doesn't make sense just keep in mind I DO get carsick and blogging on Dramamine isn't as easy as it sounds.
Hope everyone is healthy and happy
Love y'all
