I keep shovels and garden equipment in the trunk of my car for just that reason. I also have large green trash bags. When I travel, I get my lunch to go and stop at a cemetery along the way most times I pack a lunch and just stop and do just what you have mentioned. I just dug out two stones from one cemetery that had sunk it seemed like over 2 feet. I took a small broom used to clean our cars and brushed off the dirt. I packed the dirt back down and put the marker back in place. The dates were very old her died in 1842. It was an old old marker it looked home made. I pull vines off graves and fences. I also carry loppers with me so I can cut back the tree limbs. You are right, it just takes someone anyone to just stop for a short while and make a small difference. The one that I remember the most is a headstone that I dug out and it turned out to be a child. And to this day I make sure that this stone is in good shape. The inscription read: Oh For The Touch Of A Vanished Hand And The Sound Of A Voice That's Still It gave me chill bumps. How true, there are so many of my family that are now gone that this saying holds true. Margie
