Another Gilbertsville Adventure

When Terry and I decided to go to the church supper at Christ Church in Gilbertsville tonight, I suggested we go to Gilbertsville a couple of hours early and hide a geocache and go to some shops. Terry agreed to this plan very enthusiastically.

Sooooooooo, we met up in Morris at 3:30 and headed to Gilbertsville. This was Terry's first time stopping in Gilbertsville.

The first thing we did was locate the PRENTISS CEMETERY. This is by far the most interesting old cemetery I have been to. It has some HUGE old trees, a view of a creek and waterfalls, a wonderful old stone wall and lots of interesting gravestones. We walked around "ooh"ing and "ahh"ing and eventually found a good hiding spot for the geocache.

We then went to the quilt shop, general store, post office and hardware store. I think Terry was the most impressed with the quilt shop. The owner of the shop was working on a quilt, and she told us the story of it. A friend started it but died before she could finish it. So, she is finishing it up and will give it to her friends children when she completes it.
What a wonderful, loving gesture!!

We had some time to kill before the dinner, so I showed Terry THE OLD CHURCHYARD CEMETERY. We also saw this colorful side yard to a rather ordinary house: >


Carol met us at Christ Church and we had a great supper. Fruit cup, cabbage/rutabaga soup, chicken parmesan sandwich and cake for desert.
