Since my mother had to work Sunday morning, I decided I would go to River Hill Cemetery and work on some headstones. I came upon the grave of Margaret A Moore and it became one of my projects for the day. Now I don't know if Margaret was a mother but I do know she had a mother and her mother wouldn't have liked the condition of her stone. The base of the stone was split in two and had sunk in the ground causing it to fall over. Me and my trusty shovel went to work and began the task of leveling up the base. After the bottom part of the split base was set I pieced the two base pieces back together. Next I cleaned the mud off the other two pieces and got them set. Then I found the top buried in the dirt so I unearth it and placed it on top. Lastly I cleaned the face of the stone. Now this didn't take me more than 30 mins and the use of a few back muscles that will remind me tomorrow that i'm not 20 years old anymore. So in honor of my mother, Margaret A Moore's mother, and all mothers out there, one more stone is back in place like it should be. Happy Mothers Day!
