Rather than spending the day wandering around cemeteries where family members are buried, we pretty much stayed around the house today getting needed things done. Late morning Nina needed to make a run into town and do some errands. If the memorial chapel at the cemetery was open, she would text me and we’d meet there as it’s only open one day each year. The building was open, so I met her there.

After spending a short time at the memorial chapel and taking a few pictures, I saw that a number of folks in uniform were gathering around the gun and the veterans memorial. We stayed for the short flag ceremony, speeches, and a three-gun salute. As I was standing there with my camera around my neck, I heard a voice behind me say, “Hey buddy! Would you take my picture?” I turned around and saw it was, in full uniform, a fellow on our Friday morning Temple shift. He looked pretty nice, so I did take several pictures of him during the ceremony. I’ll get them printed at Costco (the cheapest place to get prints, by far), and give them to him on Friday.

I finished mowing the yard and doing the trimming. This was the first time this year that I’ve mowed the grass and I’m sure the neighbors were thinking, “Finally!” I’m hoping that Spring is finally going to stick around.

TTFN!
