Memorial Day

My oh-so-awesome sister Cherish was in town this weekend for her annual trip to the cemetery with our grandma. Every year she travels down from Utah to carry on the tradition. This year I thought I would go too. That way I got to spend more time with Cherish and visit my grandma at the same time. The day started cool and overcast which was good because trudging all over the cemetery in the heat is no fun. The sun was just peeking out as we got to the cemetery. I had gotten some roses from a wonderful neighbor to add to the poppies and geraniums my grandma had picked. We drove my grandma to the cemetery and she stayed in the car and told us where to go to find our relatives. After a while I took Kelsey out to meet some of my favorite relatives. My favorite Aunt Gertie Roses for My Great Grandma Rose "Tiny" Poppies for my Grandpa Melvin "Poppy" After we were done we drove around town and my grandma showed us where she lived when she met my grandpa, the school she went to, where her friend lived, and the big new library. We went back to her house and ate lunch and visited with my grandma and some other relatives. We stopped at our parents house on the way out of town and visited with them a bit, and then we were off to the outlet mall! The memorial day sales were not as great as we had hoped but we found some good deals and were back home in time to make dinner. Busy day, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
