World Redhead Day

I love being a red head.  Although I still color my hair but I have no gray hair at all.  Grew up with strawberry blond hair.

Today's Name Day: Vilhelmina, Vilma

    No blog today.  I am too tired.  It is too late.  More work on graves today in one cemetery.  And I saw Willie's grave after my nephew & his family decorated.  I am still crying.  Blog tomorrow.

                            

This group got vases for their so the flowers won't thrown away in a day or so.

A favorite cousin from my childhood on.  Neat lady.

Preparing for Memorial Day

Today's Name Day: Ivan, Vanja

    No real blog.  Long day.  Decorated graves in 2 cemeteries.  I might go to one here tomorrow.  Plus a long, long time on Coronado Heights taking photos of flowers, yuccas, etc.  I bought many, many silk flowers.  And I needed them.  Found many of our family graves with no one to put on flowers them.  It is up to JR & I.  When we are gone there will be no one who will or can or care.  We ended the day in Pizza Hut.  I am exhausted.

                                    

The castle on Coronado Heights

A large family grouping of our family.  The one cousin who usually decorated these has now passed away himself.

Grave of a sweet lady I took care of in a nursing home in the 1970s.  Just found her grave.  And I cried.  Loved her.

My parents.  Dad was a tail gunner in WWII so he gets a flag.

My mom was a twin.  Her sister was born before midnight, Mom after midnight.  Different dates.  Her sister was born dead.  This is her grave.  Mom's brother promised to put a stone on it but never did.  I did it.
