So one more from Savannah, this is in Colonial Park Cemetery.  It was a cemetery from the mid 1700's to the mid 1800's. This gravestone says "In Memory of Josiah Muir who departed this life Oct 1st 1820 aged 11 years old & Mary his wife who died Aug 25th 1823 aged 17 years, also Lewis Phoenix their son who died Oct 18th 1820 aged 18 years old".  Apparently General Sherman's troops took over the cemetery and made it a camp, got bored and changed a bunch of the gravestones with all their extra time.  There's lots of broken, missing, and changed ones.  That is definitely random!

Phew it's still Friday! This past week we did a little getaway to Savannah, Georgia before Thanksgiving.  I love it, so much history there, pretty much some of the oldest stuff in the US you can find.  While walking around we saw this locksmith's shop that has been around since 1883.  The sign is really what caught my eye.  I wish we would have gone in and talked to the owners because I couldn't find anything really about it online.  I don't know why I'm so intrigued by it, I guess I'll have to stop by on our next trip there!
