RANDOMNESS IN DEL RIO.

2 sleepy boys. Mr. Poole after a day of teaching knuckleheads and Bennie after a day of doing nothing. Actually Gene likes his knuckleheads.

Toby and Gene load up the canoe Thanksgiving weekend. George and Gene finally got her into Lake Amistad. Toby's suburban in the background.

George is a good supervisor.

They're off to see the wizard. The reason I had been reluctant to take it out to the lake is that I was worried about the transport...but this set up worked fine.

Thanksgiving turkey, green beans, squash, mashed potatoes and dressing on my Gran's/Mother's Noritake china.

This Cementerio Loma De La Cruz. A local woman donated 4 acres of land in 1884 because there was no official Mexican cemetery. The last burial was in 1933. Three former U.S. Army Indian Scouts are buried there and the cemetery has an Italian section too. It has been in terrible disrepair but about 2 years ago a volunteer group formed and got historical designation and have been working hard to fix it up and preserve it.

You can see how barren this place is. And it's in a remote area of town. I hope folks will leave it alone!!! FYI- This is not "my" cemetery. The one I am documenting is called San Felipe Cemetery. I have recorded over 1,000 graves and might finish in about 5 or 6 more years. I'm getting pretty emotionally attached to it. San Felipe is still being used.

Oops...that's not Del Rio. That would be Diego & Jamey in NYC.
