Dust off the Cemetery Kit / Cart

Spring is in the air. At least today. A little cooler next week, but it will be here to stay soon. Right? I need to get my cemetery kit back in order. During the winter months I removed it from my SUV and so I need to get better organized. I showed you my cart back in 2009.

Partner in crime...

...or is that partner in cemetery? Meet my boneyard buddy, Kathleen. We have logged several hundred miles together visiting cemeteries. I know she has been to at least 60+ with me in our surrounding counties. We both have cemetery kits in our vehicles so that no matter who drives we are prepared. Mine is a part of my cemetery cart. We started out with walkie-talkies and now use our blackberry phones to keep in touch as we wander our own way.

Today, she brought me something she crafted. My new cemetery hat. I didn't take photos of everything but the back has a big red heart and the cutest cat buttons around the front.

Oh yeah, nobody tell her I put her photo on my blog. Hee!

Cemetery Cart

When I'm visiting or researching a cemetery I always have a lot of "stuff" that goes with me. I went to an estate sale a few months back and bought this cart for a few dollars. I recently had the opportunity to use it for the first time. I know when summer arrives I will include a small cooler in the bottom and still have all my tools on top.












It moved through the grass with ease and allowed me to work beyond where I parked. I already have plans to have a board cut to size for the top so I'll have a sturdy writing surface. This is a big improvement from my old cart which was half the size.
