Memorial Day
Each year in the United States, Americans observe the Federal holiday, Memorial Day, the last Monday in May. It honors and remembers all men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Memorial Day is also a day to remember all loved ones who have passed away.
Today's Name Day: Beda, Blenda
Not so tired today although I worked a while. Got up sort of early to organize all my boxes outside between my trash bins. Then I gathered inside all my trash bags & threw them outside. But not in the trash bins. Took a nap first.
Woke up & put all my trash bags in the trash bins. I still have one bag in the house. Finish it soon. Feels good to be done. I thought of calling my sweet great nephew to come help but really did not need it. And I do not want to take advantage of him.
Yesterday at the town cemetery in a family grouping of ours we put all their flowers in vases. Otherwise the cemetery picks them all up & throws them in the trash. Always irritates me. If I want flowers on family graves why can they just not leave them alone. If in vases they can stay. I have more vases ordered & a few more flowers ordered. I can do those whenever I feel like it. I wanted to put some flowers on Willie's mother but I am afraid his sister might figure out they are from me & throw them away. Will wait until the holiday is over. Most likely she will not go there again. Need to go check on Willie's grave to make sure our kids have not damaged anything there. Sad, isn't it? It has happened. Leave us alone.
All the flags were up yesterday, I got a few photos of them, And we saw a cousin & had a nice visit.. And I saw a sweet friend & had a nice chat.
We went to Happy Swede for supper. Great food. I had a hot beef sandwich. Not many places serve that. They seem to have it often. Or the Swedish Meatball dinner.
On the way home I stopped at Willie's grave. Our nephew had put on a bunch of wheat & a beer can of his fave beer. I started crying right away. And cried off & on all night. And now again. I need to go up there more often. Grandson MM's father is across the road from Willie & a ways to the north is my best friend John. And across from him are my great grandparents. And the view is so peaceful & beautiful. They raised a new very tall flag pole on friday. MM helped put it up. Looks great.
Sort of warm out today. Chance of rain tomorrow morning. I have new glasses to go pick up but depends on the weather. Probably won't amount to much until thursday through saturday. Hope we get heavy rain and no damaging stuff.
Have a cousin in Kentucky. Yesterday he had 3 tornados headed his way!!! Yikes!! He is fine. Just heavy rain. And, of course, there is no climate change.
Photos are from my memories. They are awesome doors & one car.
