After sleeping a bit longer than usual I figured it would be better for me to not sit on the coach and get outside to take advantage of the beautiful September weather. Even while sick, I could appreciate it.
So the decision was made to take a walk in Greenlawn Cemetery.
It had been awhile since I've been here. It's hard to maintain a large space effectively. A portion of the fence on the west side of the property has busted down and now anyone can get in easily, at anytime. They need funds to repair the property and I do not have them.
Still, it was a pleasant day for a walk and I picked some areas I do not usually wander in.
Would love to know the back story to Mr. Gene. How did he get that name?
I know Columbus has a vital Greek population but did not realize there was a section of the cemetery that had a lot of Greek people buried there. This made me chuckle, shoot me.
Away where now? She did not go out for a pack of cigarettes, or did she?
The grave of a woman in her early twenties who died in 2012. This type of decoration fascinates me, and it's all over the cemetery here, and I imagine elsewhere.
I know I've posted this before, but it makes me giggle, ok?
And this one is further down the row. I'm sorry, but this makes me laugh.
As far as I know, this is the only grave in the world of an Olympic gold medal winner who was executed for committing murder. Here's the story.
None of my visits here are complete without some reflection here.
I was very happy to see that a lot of the overgrowth that obstructed the view of the pond from this spot had been cut back.
And just a few steps from this spot is this humble gravestone.
Greenlawn has been one of my go to spots for some quiet reflection and inspiration. Sometimes some cool birdlife is spotted, or a sprinting ground hog as you drive out of the property.
