Your scrapblog editor toodled down to Lake City and Old Frontenac today to visit cousin Sandy Kirkwood Turner, up from Nacogdoches, Texas, as well as Joe-and-Mavis and Kate-and-John, and of course little Anna, almost 91, in the nursing home. A few photos from our visit, which featured a short stroll in Frontenac State Park:
 |
| Siblings Kate and Elmer stroll amid the leaves. It was a beautiful day indeed. |
 |
| Joe tried to shake down some apples from the upper reaches of a tree. Deer or tourists had cleared off the low branches. |
 |
| The view over the edge from the park's pinnacle. Have seen it a million times, but it's always a rush. |
 |
| Mavis, Joe, Kate and Sandy in the sunshine. |
 |
| Then we went down to the Old Frontenac cemetery. The inscription on this plaque, by the Garrard graves, was written by Mom. |

| Israel Garrard's grave. |
 |
| Yikes, so many kids died little in those days. Glad we have a little less of that now, at least in good ol' America. |
 |
| Sandy and Kate on the front steps of Kate and John's place on North Prairie Street in Lake City (Grandma Sprick's former place). Kate's flowers are beautiful, as always. |
