Memorial Day 2012


I know I am weird and maybe it is because I am sentimental, but I enjoy visiting the graves!  I like the Sunday before Memorial Day going with Jason's Family and going from cemetery to cemetery to see the many people who have passed on before us and getting to know those I didn‘t know and remembering those I did know.  We visit for a bit at each place and I have tried to have them say something about the person so my kids will know who it is that we are visiting, each year they are remembering a little more that they are told.  We go from Uintah, South Ogden, 36th Street, West Warren, and Hooper it is quite a trek, but I do like it!!  I always make sure that I visit Grandma and Grandpa Shurtleff as well, and every time we drive past the Ogden Cemetery my kids always say, "Hi Grandma & Grandpa Great!"  And they know the story of when Grandmas pie was dropped on the floor and we couldn't waste it, so we all got forks and ate it off the floor, and that I learned to love to bake and cook because of Grandma Great as she always had something for you when you stopped by, even if she wasn't expecting you she would find something.  Also the story of Grandpa Shurtleff taking us kids to the park and him calling Grandma his Angel, and much much more!!

Visit to Hooper Cemetery!
