Wedding Week Sunday

Sunday morning we headed for the baseball game of Raelyn's brother Nate.  It was good to be at a youth baseball game again.

The ball field is located at the old Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, and parked right next to the parking lot is this bomber.

After the game, Frank and Linda headed over to the wedding venue ... Turning Stone Resort in Verona, NY. The wedding will be outside on the Great Lawn.  It looks to be a lovely setting.  The campground where we will be staying is just across the road from the resort, and we will be moving Pooh II over there for the days surrounding the wedding.   We checked out our reserved site, got a good look at the campground amenities, and then headed for an afternoon of cemetery walking.

As our readers may know, Linda is interested in genealogy.  She is an avid user of Ancestry.com and Findagrave.com, and she has found several cemeteries of ancestors on those sites.  It so happens that some of her ancestors are buried nearby:  Gideon Parsons (who fought in the Revolutionary War) and the parents of Gideon's son's wife (Clarissa Cleveland Parsons), Jedidiah and Lydia Cleveland. We were able to get photos of all three graves.

It is interesting that we are staying for a few days in Cleveland, NY.  We wonder if there is a connection between Linda's Clevelands who are buried about 25 miles away across the lake, and the Village of Cleveland.  More research is needed.

Matt and Raelyn arrived in NewYork after an all-night drive from South Carolina.  We will see them on Monday.
