Workmen's Circle Cemetary




I was sitting around the house trying to decide if I should do the dishes and clean up a little. It had been awhile, and as I grabbed my dust rag and started the dreaded task of cleaning I saw Maggie, my trusty GPSr sitting on the window seat. As I passed by I swear I heard Maggie calling to me and asking to go out geocaching. I swear I heard voices as I walked up to it. Well, it sounded good to me, and as they say "That's my story and I'm sticking to it!" Anything to avoid cleaning, after all, the dust will still be there when I get back home. So I gave into Maggie and off we went in search of another hidden geocache. This time Maggie and I headed out to find "The Deadly Grapes", located at 41 degrees 24.793 minutes North and 81 degrees 43.233 minutes West. Maggie was doing her usual great job of getting us to the correct area and as usual she left the rest to me to figure out the exact location of the cache. When we arrived I found the cache was located in the "Workmen's Circle Cemetery". This is a Jewish Cemetery in Parma Ohio. All of the people buried here are Jewish Veterans and their families. As I walked around looking at the graves I noticed that in front of all the head stone markers the grave had a two foot by five foot planter with flowers growing in it. Of all the cemeteries that Maggie has taken me to this is the most unique one to date. After I located the cache I spent the afternoon sitting in this wonderfully peacefully place.
