That said, you know how I feel about coinkydinks...ain't no such thing. God definitely placed "Charlotte" in your car for a purpose and a message. Maybe it's we have to revisit the past to make out our future. Maybe it's just as simple as letting you know the well traveled road may be quicker, but it doesn't come with the view. And perhaps, it's a reminder to us all, relayed through you, that life comes with detours...some good, some not so good. But to get to where we're going we have to take them. I'd do a ride along with you any day, any where.<br />XOtrash talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508579521854913297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-61063183120798552702015-05-27T16:55:40.330-05:002015-05-27T16:55:40.330-05:00What a wonderful story!

Our small development of abt 15 houses were built on a previous family farm. The small family cemetery plot is still there, and one of our neighbors takes it upon himself to keep it mowed, weeded, and the white plank fence sections in good repair. Warms my heart. I walked into the old cemetery plot one day and most of the dates are mid to late 1800s. However...no last names similar to mine! I understand the whole carpetbagger history and how the south has struggled ever since what is called "northern aggression." Love your story today.

I've been working on a little geneology of my mother's family, and am finding where some of them were killed in the civil war, too. It's interesting to learn about our past. I'm so glad you got to go there again.

My family is from Missouri and I would so love to return and check out the old cemeteries around that area. My family lived in many areas around Monet, Joplin, Springfield and many other places.

Loved finding out about your family history. There's a real old cemetery about 6 miles a way in the woods, never knew it was there, but I'm always beckoned to go there. I really enjoyed this post and thanks for sharing. Hope your weekend is a good one.
