Another of the fancy gravestones in Charlotte, North Carolina's Settlers' Cemetery, which is located downtown. If you view this larger, you'll see this one marks the burial place of at least 3 family members.

Do wish I'd seen the hospital sign in the background before taking this picture. But on second thought, it lends a certain air of irony to the shot (read the inscription on the grave!) so I opted not to omit it.

Today is setup for the Richmond Christmas Craftsmen's Classic Arts & Crafts Show (say that 3 times fast!) so it will be a very long day. The show opens tomorrow!

One of the many ornate headstones found in Settlers' Cemetery in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. This one marks the grave of a less-than-two-month-old baby boy...
