Memorial Day

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day holiday. We spent Sunday with Jan's mother, two brothers and sister and their respective families. Zachary & Kayla, Zac's new bride, and Anthony were able to come as well. It was great. We went to the cemetery after dinner, were we placed flowers on over a dozen different plots in two different cemeteries. I was amazed at how well she new everyone and their history. Besides the normal father, mother, and grand parents, she was going back well into the 1800's. It was awesome. We all learned a lot. I also learned that you can nail live plants and their pots to the ground with large nails. This prevents them from falling over due to wind. Interesting! Anyway, we all enjoyed the stories and each others company. I hope someone was able to put a flower or two for grandma and grandpa Thomas and Uncle Thommy.
