My wife finally got me to put up her whatchamacallit over her reading couch so she could put her doodads on it.

What is that thing-a-ma-jig right next to the doodad's at the bottom of the whatchamacallit?

I had to go look it up and figure out which one you were talking about. That one was retired in 1979. The only ones I know to much about are the 3 Hummel figurines on the right.

That is pretty cool. It can get some good height to it. (Oh and you didn't need to add "..with the Nikon." We could pick you out in a crowd from your avatar!) :p

The first shot at the cemetery intriged me so I looked it up. Here's some history on Woodmen of the World

I love old grave yards and visit and shoot them often. I see a lot of Woodmen of the World tombstones. It is interesting that a Insurance company would have tombstones with the company name on it. I am wondering if there was more to it than insurance.

According to the link, it was a fraternity of some sort. A snippet from Wikipedia (Woodmen of the World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The history of this organization includes the erection of numerous distinctive tombstones depicting tree stumps across the country before 1930, a program to donate American flags, and broadcast interests that were to own the first television station where Johnny Carson worked.
