October 14, 2015-Wednesday-This morning Lennie & I are going to take a drive into Boston. I think the main reason we're going into Boston is to eat....we could skip that habit! It never shows on Lennie, I guess I bear the weight of both of us!?!
Otis is NOT riding into Boston with us. I make sure he has a good potty walk before we leave. He's safe to leave in the RV, he's NEVER had a "accident"!
Something SWEET???? Maybe later!?!
Lennie got a rueben I got my Turkey Gobbler! What you cant see in this picture is....while I'm taking this picture Lennie is attempting to stab apiece of my turkey!
Yum, the Turkey Gobbler, that's 3 for me this trip!The turkey stuffing on this sandwich was GREAT!!!
It's pretty crowded, I take a seat & wait for Lennie. We've been here before & walked away cause the line was all the way outside! Not that bad today!
We're going to head back to the RV Park now, & pick up Otis!
We picked up Otis & because it was still early enough we drove to the Massachusetts National Cemetery. Not just because Lennie is interested in Veteran's Cemeteries(he's planning on the future...) mainly because my cousin Gilbert (Muriel's brother) is buried here.
On the way back to the RV, one more photo before we leave the area.....
October 15, 2015-Thursday-This morning we leave Peter's Pond, tho we weren't happy about the short notice on our reservation change, it really is a nice park, huge too. We learned it recently came under new management, maybe they still haven't gotten things figured out????
They had a ball diamond here, a playground, a swimming pool, 2 outside picnic pavilions, I don't know.....maybe we'd give Peter's Pond another chance????
He can't leave without us.....
We haven't been to the Centre Cemetery in Wareham yet & we have one day in limbo.Lennie found a campground fairly close to the cemetery & it won't be out of our way when we leave, so now we're heading to a one nighter!
We got the site!
This campground is having a big Halloween party this weekend, a lot of the sites were decorated for the occasion, as well as the office!
But we're not here for the Halloween party, just passing through because they're close to the cemetery. We're going there now while the weather is still nice!
Fast forward to maybe 2011 Lennie & I were visiting Massachusetts. I had begun doing research on finding Roberta's grave. Thanks to a group called FINDAGRAVE I was able to locate the cemetery in Wareham. Lennie & I were surprised to find the marker FINDAGRAVE had placed for Roberta!?!
Roberta's marker was placed right between these 2 stones who were also Erickson's, but unrelated Erickson's????We went to order a headstone & double checked on the grave site. We were assured she was in the right place???
My mother passed in July of 2012 & the following fall, Chris joined us in a trip to Massachusetts where we were going to spread mom's ashes in some familiar places including Roberta's grave site. We couldn't wait to show Chris Roberta's stone as it was a joint effort on buying the stone & getting it set. Imagine our surprise when we got to that ERICKSON gravesite & Roberta's stone was GONE???I guess whoever those other Erickson's were didn't mind her little metal marker, but when she moved in with her own headstone....they said NO.We made phone calls, got officials out to the cemetery.....finally the stone was located just across the road, another ERICKSON headstone, another unrelated Erickson! This headstone was rose colored, same color as Roberta's. Maybe that's why "someone" thought she belonged over here instead of with the grey stone Erickson's???
