Summer: Take a grandchild to the cemetery.
While back I offered a class on things to do this summer that are genealogy related. One thing was take a grandchild to a cemetery. Who else is gonna teach them about remembering our ancestors?
This my youngest grandson. When he and his dad visited Spokane from their home in Port Angeles, OF COURSE I took them to the cemetery to see where Grandpa and I will rest. He was politely interested and did hint that he might go to a PA cemetery to view the grave markers on his mom's side. Score!
If you don't have a grandchild handy, take any child! And if you don't have a family stone to visit, there are a thousand stories in any cemetery. Go!
