A Real Stick in the Mud

Clinton Iowa.
When I first started genealogy my dad and
I went to the Cemetery in which my Grandmother was buried. I'd never been
to her grave site before so he was going to take me there and show me
where she was buried.
It was a rainy day and a dirt road led to her
grave. We checked out the spot where he thought she was buried, but we
couldn't find it. We decided to leave and come back when it was nicer
weather. On the way out we got stuck in the mud on the road, we could not
move forword or backword. My dad's truck slid sideways and we were not
going anywhere.
I got out and just started looking at some graves, looked
down at one and it was my Grandmother's. The truck had slid and pointed
right at it.
