5-27-2013 Memorial Day

Do you have a tradition on Memorial Day?  Do you visit cemeteries where family members have been laid to rest?  Do you take flowers?

During my childhood we always visited the family cemeteries, taking live flowers, sometimes peonies, to leave on the gravesites of grandparents and aunts and uncles.  

There was sometimes family gatherings along a creek, a picnic, playing in the water, playing with cousins, watching aunts and uncles play cards.

Today was quiet for us.  We took a bike ride on the trail; a visit to Wal Mart, visiting with Darin/Sarah and kids.

I hope you remembered to thank a veteran for his or her service to our country.
