Bob, Ann, and I went to the cemeteries today. We had exactly the right number of flowers. We must have thrown away some last year. We need to do that again this year to replace some of our older ones. That's one of those things you don't remember from year to year, so if we don't do it right away after this weekend, we won't remember next year that we need to replace flowers. We decorate a lot of graves. Besides Mom & Dad, we do aunts and uncles on both sides of the family plus Mom's half brothers, three cousins, both sets of grandparents, and also four sets of great grandparents and even one set of great, great grandparents! Oh, we also do Bob's former in-laws graves.
After the cemetery at Libertyville, we stopped at Don Brobston's (Bob's friend from Libertyville HS) and we went down to the acreage where we grew up and talked with Jon M for a while. Then we went to the back of the property and reminisced about where the property line was and the good times we had growing up. All of this before noon!
Dave and I had leftovers for lunch and late this afternoon drove the '56 to Albia for hot fudge sundaes! It's the first we'd been there this year! We'll try to go back one more time before we go south. They have the BEST hot fudge anywhere!!
More later...
