Huskey Cemetery
I saw this image on Facebook today and laughed because it churned up this filed-away memory of driving the country roads of Tennessee with my mom. We were travelling along Highway 321, roughly ten miles beyond the entrance to my high school, in search of some sort of adventure. I’m not entirely sure what we … Continue reading »
