In our bi-weekly visit to Whidbey Island, we again visited the cemetery. Our routine is now that E buys us a sandwich at the Star Store (a kind of general store in the town center) and we find a nice place to eat in the car. Once again, this delightful cemetery was at the top of our list. So peaceful.
