Here is a funny story about our quest to find the headstone of my great great grandfather, Eli C Ownby. We knew the stone exists because we had seen photos of it and we knew where it was but we couldn't find it. And here is the rest of the story (along with an album of the headstone repair)</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
In the summer of 2000, during a heat wave of 110+ and one of the worst draughts in Texas history, (and for you non Texans, THAT'S BAD). I decided to find my great-great-grandfather's grave. Eli Craig Ownby was buried in 1892 at Pilot Grove Cemetery, which is only about 15 miles from my home. My husband, Darrell, grew up even closer to the cemetery and "knew" all about it.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
One hot August afternoon we took a ride over there and started walking the stones. We found Eli’s daughter Elizabeth Nancy Taylor's, grave but couldn't find his. I had a picture of the grave stone which was about 5 foot tall taken around 1980 when another researcher was visiting from Tennessee We walked the cemetery twice and couldn't find it. Finally Darrell said, "Maybe it's really at Cannon" (about 3 miles down the road). So we drove to Cannon Cemetery.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
Walked it twice and couldn't find it. I was determined.......I knew it existed, just where? We went back to Pilot Grove, Darrell laughed and pointed to a little used side road (one he had used for "Parking" back in the olden days) and said "Maybe he's buried in the Black Cemetery". I said "no, he's buried here".....sooooooooooo....we walked that sucker again.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
By now we were both sun burned and almost dehydrated and very smelly. Finally on the verge of tears with frustration, I told him "Let's try the Black section". (Remember....this is 1892 Reconstruction Texas terminology we are referring to). We went down the hill and there is this beautiful cemetery with tall massive headstones. We start walking the rows and I found 3 Ownby's immediately but no Eli. I even found (lying on the ground) Eli's wife Nancy Carol Winstead Ownby. I kept saying over and over "he's got to be here".</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
Remember it is 110 in the shade but I'm determined. I was saddened by the fact that Nancy Carol was lying in the dirt and also confused, because she had died in 1861 during the Civil War in TN. The family moved to TX in 1881. Why was she buried in TX. Did they dig her up and move her bones or something? We kept walking and looking and finally, out of desperation, (because he was hot and tired and thirsty) Darrell reached down and flipped (that's an understatement) Nancy's stone over and guess what?</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
There was Eli Craig lying face down in the dirt. It bothered me for nearly a year and Darrell and our son, Stuart, planned to go over there and fix the stone but weather wouldn't cooperate, so, in May of 2001, we went and dug a hole and poured concrete for a pad. We let the concrete set up and went back 3 days later and set the stone upright and glued the pieces with epoxy so that finally Eli and Nancy can get up out of the dirt and stand proudly as they deserve to.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
I later found out that when Nancy died during the war (another story another time) she was buried in an unmarked grave on the family farm so, when Eli died here in Texas, his children had a stone erected with her memorial written on the opposing face of her husband, who never remarried.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 19px;">
We never solved the mystery of why Darrell had been told that this was the "Black Cemetery", when actually it was just the "Old Pilot Grove Cemetery". Now that we have the stone erect again you can read the inscriptions.</div>

The family couldn't afford a marble stone so a rough piece of cement with his name and dates was placed on his grave at Belmont Cemetery just south of Ector, Texas.<br />

<br />
The stone states simply J T Hudson Born Jan 8 1851 Died Apr 7 1916<br />
<br />
We have been there several times in the past 20 years and were glad to find the stone and always intended to have a more permanent marker made. Through the years we've taken several of JT's grandchildren and great-grand children to see his burial spot.<br />

As you can see the grass and grounds were manageable. Although not golf course manicured they were acceptable for a small country cemetery.<br />

Imagine our surprise this morning when we went to place the new marble marker and found this:<br />

<br />
Not only could we not find my great-grandfathers modest stone, but several of the larger ones were covered in rough growth and the entire cemetery cant' be navigated to do a thorough search. <br />
<br />
THIS is a total shame and no reason for it to be this way. I don't know who is in authority over the cemetery or even who owns the land. But am on a search to find out. I certainly don't mind helping with a general clean up and I know there are others in the Grayson-Fannin area who would be willing.<br />
<br />
So come on folks...... There is no excuse for neglecting this beautiful old cemetery. Let's have a little respect for our ancestors.<br />
<br />
<br />
UPDATE: Feb 2013 ..... Winter has killed the grass so we went back today to find the original stone and set the new one. SUCCESS!!! <br />

We were able to find the stone and as we dug around it we also discovered an added line scratched into the bottom of the stone, "In God We Trust". <br />

We straightened the stone and used the new granite stone to prop it so perhaps the cattle grazing in the spring will not do more damage than is already done.</div>

Soooooooo I really think it bears repeating, since I have found the crochet pattern to make this lovely. That was the question I received numerous times while I had it listed, and before it went to a new and loving home.<br />

As you can see, the one I had wasn't quite as shaggy and fluffy as the one in the photo, but that is due to the type yarn that was used. I do believe that the maker can do what they wish and have it extremely full or less so.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17730636725274166989noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768590456938338100.post-26618054143106875862011-11-26T08:29:00.000-06:002013-09-12T09:09:24.319-05:001971 Revisited The Hippie Peasant Dress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Especially in the World of Vintage FashionWhen you handle as many Vintage patterns as I do in a weeks time, you start to see the same concepts over and over and over again. But seldom do you actually have such an example of the 25 year rule as I ran across this week. Listed now are these three Bib Overall Shorts patterns from 3 very distinctive Vintage Eras. Rosie the Riveter from 1946, Hanna the Hippie from 1974, and the latest in 1996. Who knows what version of this comfortable attire will show up in 2021? Just hope I'm around to see it.<br />

This sweet dress pattern has everything a girl could want from the era. It's a mini dress, it has a low scoop neckline, long bell sleeves, princess seams, flirty flare skirt and a choice of 2 collars. The long pointed collar attached to a neck band give the dress a peek-a-boo effect. Of course the huge dog ears are my personal favorite, but if I were making this adorable dress to wear, I would choose the view not shown. I would give it the scoop neck and have the dog ears attached to the neck band for a peek-a-boo dog ear look. But any way you make it, this pattern is a definite WINNER!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>"Hello,</i></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Below is a copy of my receipt and the recipent just advised me that the wrong size was shipped. Please advise the best way to exchange the pattern for a size 4 and not the size 12 that was shipped."</i></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When I informed her that a size 4 did not exist in 1962 for sewing patterns and that the bust, waist and hip measurements given on the envelope was what you needed to utilize when buying vintage sewing patterns, she responded:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>"Thank you, the recipient & I were not aware of that."</i></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: small;">This communication, triggered me to re-post this very valuable bit of information. </span><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: small;">Most people who sew know that a manufactured dress size and a dress pattern size have nothing in common. This guide is purely for fun and to show the changes in standard sizing for dress patterns through the years. It has nothing to do with the little tag on a dress in the department store. Sizes weren't routinely listed on all patterns until around 1940. Prior to WWII the sizing was strictly related to the bust measurement. Here is a brief look at the changes in a Size 12 from 1930-2000</span> </div><br />

</div><div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><b style="font-weight: 400;">So, as you can see there is quite a difference in the fit, silhouette, and sizing of vintage patterns throughout the past 60 years. </b></span><br />
</div><div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><b style="font-weight: 400;">Most Pattern sellers will list the Bust Size in the title of the listing so you can browse at your leisure instead of plowing through multiple listing only to find the pattern won't fit. An experienced and talented person who sews can always moderate and alter a pattern up or down, but it's nice to know what you are getting from the beginning. </b></span><br />
</div><div align="left" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And to add a new addendum for those just entering the world of true Vintage and not Vintage Style. True vintage sewing patterns are not easily found and can't be produced with the click of a finger. They are no longer manufactured, and those offered for sale are found in various places in various conditions and they are old. They weren't printed last week or even last year. Your seller has found them in an Estate Sale or some other type of situation and they have taken the time to check the pieces and make sure the pattern is complete and if it has been used lovingly or abused terribly. So please read the descriptions and make your purchasing decisions based on your own personal needs and the information (or in some case, lack of information) given. And never hesitate to ask questions if you are in doubt.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My sincerest wish is for each and everyone of you to have a Joyous Holiday for whatever occasion you celebrate this season.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Often I fantasize about the life they lived in the wonderful clothes they left behind. This was one fiesty lady in the 50's. She loved her circle skirts and kept them all. And I'm so glad she did. Now I can pass them on to another generation who will love them too.<br />

This is possibly my favorite. It is hand painted by Carmona and shows the premier Bullfighter of the 1940's and 1950's, Miguel Baez Litri<br />

well guess what? Skants are back in a newer and I think more user friendly version. These are sized more appropriately and come with the pattern for 2 stretch knit tops, shoes, hat and bag. If you are planning a winter cruise..........this is the complete wardrobe for your trip.<br />

These smashing fashions are all created from crochet and knitting patterns in the Spring of 1965. <br />

The skirt is full but lays gracefully instead of being puffed up with petticoats. Skirt length is mid calf.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvrqXCdTtWZHGoBP7CLjfwwMKkCy5X2Na-9x1au8HLWfUpPYGrLi_s1hdWSu2ooir2TLrAKfi2ZcNCyyY0nDQ4C0XxEQZU5a8zinBDKDlJMcRd4jQJswGk_PyBZSTGWlrp4W3h69v7oDnB/s1600/Simplicity+3398+50+a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 273px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvrqXCdTtWZHGoBP7CLjfwwMKkCy5X2Na-9x1au8HLWfUpPYGrLi_s1hdWSu2ooir2TLrAKfi2ZcNCyyY0nDQ4C0XxEQZU5a8zinBDKDlJMcRd4jQJswGk_PyBZSTGWlrp4W3h69v7oDnB/s400/Simplicity+3398+50+a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519810410291632706" border="0" /></a><br />By 1955 the emphasis is on an Hour glass figure with a dropped waist (this style is often called a Long Torso), and very full skirt held out by layers and layers of petticoats. The skirt length drops to 3/4 of the way below the knee almost to the ankle.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEvb8_I_d3EXOxV1W3HJWloxZBnq7QcXxBU11mO275YzrEmgOp_U2_A9hlZsxLj6cbZSvjdcPxBEXwLaryo7bX1gGUnk8gUfbBSbAeFyP5F8-GAFrl2M0ZV-Hti5oqhixLYMpEfdfneft/s1600/Simplicity+1449+55+a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 273px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEvb8_I_d3EXOxV1W3HJWloxZBnq7QcXxBU11mO275YzrEmgOp_U2_A9hlZsxLj6cbZSvjdcPxBEXwLaryo7bX1gGUnk8gUfbBSbAeFyP5F8-GAFrl2M0ZV-Hti5oqhixLYMpEfdfneft/s400/Simplicity+1449+55+a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519810399341750994" border="0" /></a><br />In 1961 choose slim or full skirt under a fitted midriff with major emphasis on the bustline. Puffy skirt stars at the waist and is once again held out by layers of petticoats but the puff starts at the waistline, not below. Skirts are shorter but still well below the knee.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGpKB_1ybzkg1aMJPhJbzj7so6CY-Wx1fGp8kJoy2IovTwu-UuphAjzKC8Ssh_bDAPoi5oNCO-ZnwupjQp3dSqtLoYMl4RQtbaqPRpEy1fjrOuaKiYq5bxIvKN0p9zeiUQ6YcVKf1Bf2fs/s1600/McCalls+5772+61+a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGpKB_1ybzkg1aMJPhJbzj7so6CY-Wx1fGp8kJoy2IovTwu-UuphAjzKC8Ssh_bDAPoi5oNCO-ZnwupjQp3dSqtLoYMl4RQtbaqPRpEy1fjrOuaKiYq5bxIvKN0p9zeiUQ6YcVKf1Bf2fs/s400/McCalls+5772+61+a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519810391464383442" border="0" /></a><br />1964 brigs us slim but not the form fitting sheath of the 50's. This styling is softer and less structured and emphasizes the bust without being obvious. The waspish waist is gone and slim hips prevail. The skirt is still below the knee but higher than the past 15 years.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63GMVW4GEnwXv8husDiGzVCWzHd88kLo-uCU0PXGOOrf0A-OcLyLoqfrSoVjEEWJAct7sofKuCP45onjyKOnK8une55d2taB9F5z8xoaccL8o_qCHltFpXZ65fn8CQZHre_pCcV9-gYhL/s1600/McCalls+7227+64+a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63GMVW4GEnwXv8husDiGzVCWzHd88kLo-uCU0PXGOOrf0A-OcLyLoqfrSoVjEEWJAct7sofKuCP45onjyKOnK8une55d2taB9F5z8xoaccL8o_qCHltFpXZ65fn8CQZHre_pCcV9-gYhL/s400/McCalls+7227+64+a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519810383032948994" border="0" /></a><br /><br />All of these and many many more can be found at www.cemetarian.comAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17730636725274166989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768590456938338100.post-14625834645474137962010-09-22T09:55:00.002-05:002010-09-22T10:06:50.630-05:00Pumpkins Weren't Always Just for HalloweenBefore Cell Phones (or even telephones), Postcard/Greeting Cards were once the main way of letting distant friends and relatives know you were thinking about them.

Emphasis on particular body parts change as often as the weather. <br /><br />Today we'll take a brief walk through a 30 year span where body styles made some drastic changes. <br /><br />In the 1930's the emphasis was on softness..........soft bodies, and soft fabrics. Non structure is seen in not only the fashions but in the beautiful models who showed the fashions. The Bust to Waist ratio was minimal and the overall look was feminine and rounded.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDcsKWQ0eTQxrLEK7Pd9uaOqMVUSFFZoPjNPXQaM3EARs5lgKUx9LmbOOVV-Psl5enK8s-BZY5NdUcDH3G13ppm8z1HNHHqvbqfwPqMe8IOjqfJLpNhyphenhyphenGdpGaM-F874q5ZM2KLCosi27A/s1600/1930s+Crochet.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDcsKWQ0eTQxrLEK7Pd9uaOqMVUSFFZoPjNPXQaM3EARs5lgKUx9LmbOOVV-Psl5enK8s-BZY5NdUcDH3G13ppm8z1HNHHqvbqfwPqMe8IOjqfJLpNhyphenhyphenGdpGaM-F874q5ZM2KLCosi27A/s400/1930s+Crochet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517479454276344178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmOaMsIkBT68TMeKDj1BTvV7fvORI-YwcUlMRYmjOPzGEzyuFLHvoL06Bv755n0nJIjAMRYBG4qv51Luvy-KC88AH6Wuu2K7csXIG-x49m78nUsg6GNhAblUlKV6kwuUkvrSFK-05b6J6/s1600/1930s+Knit.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmOaMsIkBT68TMeKDj1BTvV7fvORI-YwcUlMRYmjOPzGEzyuFLHvoL06Bv755n0nJIjAMRYBG4qv51Luvy-KC88AH6Wuu2K7csXIG-x49m78nUsg6GNhAblUlKV6kwuUkvrSFK-05b6J6/s400/1930s+Knit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517479448514214610" border="0" /></a><br />The 1940s was more structured and tailored. Still very little emphasis on Bust to Waist. The lines were crisper and not as soft. As women entered the workplace in the absence of men during the war, heavier materials and a more masculine flair was introduced with broader shoulders and narrower hips.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkuma4J0N5VJwU1er2ye0TltVkpx18i8ms2jqcjSjL_AM3musRJFhcb1MIvga9FUmhJFsnHVfqQRsuP2__bzxI2Pudt0o-K-ZXwIqs0y42aU8mmiWdK964MoGTdTSL-kuK_cjxHtG5F_6e/s1600/1940s+Knit.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkuma4J0N5VJwU1er2ye0TltVkpx18i8ms2jqcjSjL_AM3musRJFhcb1MIvga9FUmhJFsnHVfqQRsuP2__bzxI2Pudt0o-K-ZXwIqs0y42aU8mmiWdK964MoGTdTSL-kuK_cjxHtG5F_6e/s400/1940s+Knit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517479441243899698" border="0" /></a><br />The 1950s brought a new femininity back to fashion. As women went back into the home and women's interests, the whole silhouette changed again. Now the fashion directive was on tiny waists with form fitting sweaters and huge circle skirts that emphasized the Hour Glass Figure.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Zd8C-swu4SoaGRKYf2kZOwVB7ANXvvtNJ1YIb5X7nxqO74pBJBuFJ2YlzrKrjZtI3yvYEL0Pbz2fmmd_dA_ZYupxyYJ15QoqS9vsDSrz5xPGVhtzuuV38BQqP3tTe7cqnyIkB-VfWg9V/s1600/1950s+Knit.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 174px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Zd8C-swu4SoaGRKYf2kZOwVB7ANXvvtNJ1YIb5X7nxqO74pBJBuFJ2YlzrKrjZtI3yvYEL0Pbz2fmmd_dA_ZYupxyYJ15QoqS9vsDSrz5xPGVhtzuuV38BQqP3tTe7cqnyIkB-VfWg9V/s400/1950s+Knit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517479430275111394" border="0" /></a><br />The 60s started with the same Hour Glass body image, but soon morphed into a more casual feel as women worked both in the home and outside the home. We demanded comfort as well as fashion. Pants were more accepted in casual settings than they had been previously. But close fitting pants demanded longer tops to cover them (for modesty's sake). <br /><br />This brings me to today's title.............I love this sweater and would wear it in a New York Minute (as a matter of fact I did wear one comparable in 1963)...........but I can't help wondering what the photographer and the company was thinking when they did this shoot. <br /><br />All I can think of is today's classic question.<br /><br />Does this make my butt look big?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheAS5JRpfItYPKmfRlTItTFaMVlS3FJtxODMc6uCyBX7uj8tGdOgn85YfVzR95eiVprIrZGbH8dU6r734KDJVrsXhAGpmfHCSrZG_StaU2a4bCUVc9dYiqaF9vLMDuqwI-Im3YKSD6wUn_/s1600/1960s+Knit.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheAS5JRpfItYPKmfRlTItTFaMVlS3FJtxODMc6uCyBX7uj8tGdOgn85YfVzR95eiVprIrZGbH8dU6r734KDJVrsXhAGpmfHCSrZG_StaU2a4bCUVc9dYiqaF9vLMDuqwI-Im3YKSD6wUn_/s400/1960s+Knit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517479417662513890" border="0" /></a><br />These fabulous crochet and knitting patterns can be found at both <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/cemetarian">cemetarian on Etsy</a> and <a href="http://www.cemetarian.com">cemetarian.com</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17730636725274166989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768590456938338100.post-44086171679388932332010-09-14T09:51:00.004-05:002010-09-14T10:00:08.619-05:00Julia Sugarbaker Rides Again!It can happen to the best of us.
