Memorial Day in Utah County

I went down to Nate and Carrie's for Memorial Day. Carrie cut some of the Iris from their backyard and we put them on the Hales and Burrows graves.

(Was that cement base always there? I thought I remembered the gravestone sinking down on one side. Maybe they fixed it or maybe that's the Rockwood headstone I'm thinking of)

It looks like two other people beat us to it and there were mums and geraniums on both gravesites. Simon got free a couple times. He really liked the pinwheels.

Then we drove back from Springville and Spanish Fork to Orem...
...along the way Simon taught me some gang signs he knew... what are they showing on Sesame Street these days???
Then Nate ground up some meat (finger meat) and we had some really good bacon burgers.

For Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Dad and I had a nice memorial day. We went - once again - to the memorial program at Los Gatos cemetery; put some nice flowers on Emily's grandparent's grave. The program is always fun with band music - talks (this year by 4 "waves" - they were really fun) plus wreath placing, dove release, gun salutes, & of course a well done flag ceremony: plus free food. Hot dogs, doughnuts and drinks and flags for everyone (we also put our flags on the Burton's graves.

Lots of nice people there.

Here's a patriotic picture of Dad/Grandpa. You don't see this everyday!!! It was taken at the Empire State building - at about 1:30 in the morning. We didn't waste our time while in New York City - used every minute.

I put most of the pictures from the farm on my own blog, maybe we need to look at making this a public blog again, anyone?
