We brought along some hand tools and trimmed up around the head stones and Mike's brother John brought some flowers. It was really nice. I hope they feel loved when they see their grandchildren and great grandchildren coming to visit.
I really like GG's and Bud's headstone. Families really can be together forever.
When was the last time you stuck your nose in a patch of clover? It smells so sweet. I hope clover grows over my grave some day.
Speaking of my future grave...it's so fun to walk through the cemetery and see all of the different styles. I totally want one with my photo on it. Slightly creepy but awesome.
All in all it was a really nice night. I'm so glad to live by family - living and dead. I'm sure I've got some ancestors buried around here. I really should find out so I can go and take care of their resting places as well.

we do this every year as well for brett's family. i love what it teaches my children & i love how well taken care of & frequented the cemeteries are here.
I can't tell you how many times I visited various cemeteries in Utah. I looooved doing that. I would take walks through them in various cities where we lived. Such a good feeling there. I wouldn't be caught dead in a cemetery in Houston...it would just be different...actually, I probably will be caught dead in a cemetery in Houston. Dang.
