Join me as I set up my Halloween display, explore real cemeteries, check out cool local places, see what kind of Shenanigans Chuck gets into and whatever randomness happens to pop into my head!

Happy October! #countdowntohalloween2023

It's officially fall and things are stirring!
The headstones / fence / sign are all out. A few touchups in the paint might be needed, which is pretty normal, considering the varmints that enjoy my shed in the off season.
Exhibit A.
A big ol' orb weaver who is was happily hanging right in the middle of my shed.
Relocated!
Evidence B...
I found a dollar store version of Flex Seal and grabbed a couple cans to hit the tops of the headstones. I think it looks pretty cool.
The critter skeletons that were also in the shed are out & have been hosed off. I know it's silly to get rid of the dirt & spiderwebs from something that's going in an "old" cemetery.

Shaking my head / laughing under my breath
Someone tell me - is there anything about this blog that you're looking at RIGHT NOW that would give you the impression that this was an actual business / office for a real cemetery???
Thankfully I have comments moderated, because someone left this comment on a post I made back in 2019.
"I paid to have a headstone set at my grandmothers grave in March 2023. It's now Mid July. Headstone is still not set. Nobody calls me back after 7 messages. The headstone was delivered and set against a tree. Then moved and dropped on the grass where it's been for 2 months. The management company cashed my check and never set the headstone. My mother had been so disappointed and upset. Shame on IMG Management and Maple Grove Cemetery for making this a miserable experience."
While this is sad this has happened to someone (who posted anonymously) I would love to know what they were thinking!
