This is the day we remember family and friends that have passed. We also remember the service men and women that have died defending the USA. On Memorial Day when I was a kid we would go to Hulett, WY where family members were buried and put flowers and plants on their graves. Then we would have a family reunion picnic at an Aunt's house. The kids that were old enough would find someone to drive them to the near-by Devils Tower (National Monument) or when some cousins got old enough we would drive ourselves. We then would spend the afternoon walking around the Tower as well as climbing on rocks, etc.
It seemed only right somehow that we tackle cleaning the house. It never gets too dirty but plenty of "stuff" to put away. Finally after almost three weeks our lawn is being mowed, it has gone to seed, small dogs could be lost. I don't know what the problem was but ABOUT TIME, we are after all paying for the service. Just sorry they have to work on a holiday.
Our daughter Sheila and family had us over for dinner. Ken's parents were also there, we always enjoy visiting with them. The food was great, we had a good time.
